Ex-Dividend Dates: When Are You Entitled to Stock and Cash Dividends

To determine whether you should get a dividend, you need to look at two important dates. They are the \"record date\" or \"date of record\" and the \"ex-dividend date\" or \"ex-date.\"

\n\n

When a company declares a dividend, it sets a record date when you must be on the company's books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. Companies also use this date to determine who is sent proxy statements, financial reports, and other information.

\n\n

\n\n

Once the company sets the record date, the ex-dividend date is set based on stock exchange rules. The ex-dividend date for stocks is usually set one business day before\u00a0the record date. If you purchase a stock on its ex-dividend date or after, you will not receive the next dividend payment. Instead, the seller gets the dividend. If you purchase before the ex-dividend date, you get the dividend.

On September 8, 2017, Company XYZ declares a dividend payable on October 3, 2017 to its shareholders. XYZ also announces that shareholders of record on the company's books on or before September 18, 2017 are entitled to the dividend. The stock would then go ex-dividend one business day before the record date.

\n\n

In this example, the record date falls on a Monday. Excluding weekends and holidays, the ex-dividend is set one business day before the record date or the opening of the market\u2014in this case on the preceding Friday. This means anyone who bought the stock on Friday or after would not get the dividend. At the same time, those who purchase before the ex-dividend date on Friday will receive the dividend.

\n\n

With a significant dividend, the price of a stock may fall by that amount on the ex-dividend date.

\n\n

If the dividend is 25% or more of the stock value, special rules apply to the determination of the ex-dividend date.\u00a0 In these cases, the ex-dividend date will be deferred until one business day after the dividend is paid.\u00a0 In the above example, the ex-dividend date for a stock that\u2019s paying a dividend equal to 25% or more of its value, is October 4, 2017.

\n\n

Sometimes a company pays a dividend in the form of stock rather than cash. The stock dividend may be additional shares in the company or in a subsidiary being spun off. The procedures for stock dividends may be different from cash dividends. The ex-dividend date is set the first business day after the stock dividend is paid (and is also after the record date).

\n\n

If you sell your stock before the ex-dividend date, you also are selling away your right to the stock dividend. Your sale includes an obligation to deliver any shares acquired as a result of the dividend to the buyer of your shares, since the seller will receive an I.O.U. or \"due bill\" from his or her broker for the additional shares. Thus, it is important to remember that the day you can sell your shares without being obligated to deliver the additional shares is\u00a0not\u00a0the first business day after the record date, but usually is the first business day after the stock dividend is paid.

\n\n

\u00a0

\n\n

If you have questions about specific dividends, you should consult with your financial advisor.

What Is the Difference Between Ex-Dividend Date and Date of Record?

\n

\nAre you mystified by the workings of dividends and dividend distributions? Chances are it's not the concept of dividends that confuses you. The ex-dividend date and date of record are the tricky factors. Briefly, in order to be eligible for payment of stock dividends, you must buy the stock (or already own it) at least two days before the date of record and still own the shares at the close of trading one business day before the ex-date. That's one day before the ex-dividend date.\n

\n
\n

\nSome investment terms are tossed around more than a Frisbee on a hot summer day, so first let's fill in some of the basics of stock dividends.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\nKey Takeaways

\n
\n
  • The trading date on or after which a new buyer of a stock is not yet owed the dividend is known as the ex-dividend date.
  • The company identifies all shareholders of the company on what is called the date of record.
  • To be eligible for the dividend, you must buy the stock at least two business days before the date of record and own it by the close one business day before the ex-date.
\n
\n
\n

\nThere are actually four major dates in the process of a dividend distribution:\n

\n
\n
    \n
  • The declaration date is the day on which the board of directors announces the dividend.
  • \n
  • The ex-date or ex-dividend date is the trading date on (and after) which the dividend is not owed to a new buyer of the stock. The ex-date is one business day before the date of record.
  • \n
  • The date of record is the day on which the company checks its records to identify shareholders of the company. An investor must be listed on that date to be eligible for a dividend payout.
  • \n
  • The date of payment is the day the company mails out the dividend to all holders of record. This may be a week or more after the date of record.
  • \n
\n
\n

Why Issue a Dividend?

\n

\nThe decision to distribute a dividend is made by a company's board of directors. Essentially, it is a share of the profits that is awarded to the company's shareholders.\n

\n
\n

\nMany investors view a steady dividend history as an important indicator of a good investment, so companies are reluctant to reduce or stop regular dividend payments.\n

\n
\n

\nDividends can be paid in various ways, but the big two are cash and stock.\n

\n
\n

Example of a Cash Dividend

\n

\nFor example, suppose you own 100 shares of Cory's Brewing Company. Cory has enjoyed record sales this year thanks to the high demand for its unique peach-flavored beer. The company decides to share some of the good fortune with stockholders and declares a dividend of $0.10 per share. You will receive a payment from Cory's Brewing Company of $10.00.\n

\n
\n

\nIn practice, companies that pay dividends, issue them four times a year. A one-time dividend such as the one in this example is called an extra dividend.\n

\n
\n

Example of a Stock Dividend

\n

\nThe stock dividend, the second-most common dividend-paying method, pays in shares rather than cash. Cory might issue a dividend of $0.05 new shares for every existing one. You will receive five shares for every 100 shares that you own. If any fractional shares are left over, the dividend is paid as cash because stocks don't trade fractionally.\n

\n
\n

The Rare Property Dividend

\n

\nAnother rarer type of dividend is the property dividend, which is a tangible asset distributed to stockholders. For instance, if Cory's Brewing Company wanted to pay out dividends but didn't have enough stock or money to spare, the company could look for something physical to distribute. In this case, Cory's might distribute a couple of six-packs of its famous peach beer to all shareholders.\n

\n
\n

Ex-Dividend Date

\n

\nAs noted above, the ex-date or ex-dividend date marks the cutoff point for a pending stock dividend. Some trading platforms, market data, and news services might add an XD modifier to the ticker symbol to show it is trading ex-dividend.\n

\n
\n

\nIf you buy a stock one day before the ex-dividend, you will get the dividend. If you buy on the ex-dividend date or any day after, you won't get the dividend.\n

\n
\n

\nConversely, if you want to sell a stock and still get a dividend that has been declared, you need to hang onto it until the ex-dividend day.\n

\n
\n

\nThe ex-date is one business day before the date of record.\n

\n
\n

Date of Record

\n

\nThe date of record is the date in which the company identifies all of its current stockholders, and therefore everyone who is eligible to receive the dividend. If you're not on the list, you don't get the dividend.\n

\n
\n

\nIn today's market, settlement of stocks is a T+2 process, which means that a transaction is entered into the company's record books two business days after the trade.\n

\n
\n

\nTo ensure that you are in the record books, you need to buy the stock at least two business days before the date of record, or one day before the ex-dividend date.\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n\n
\n
\n
\nImage by Sabrina Jiang \u00a9 Investopedia\u00a02020\n
\n
\n

\nAs you can see from the diagram above, if you buy on the ex-dividend date (Tuesday), only one day before the date of record, you will not get the dividend because your name will not appear in the company's record books until Thursday. If you want to buy the stock and receive the dividend, you need to buy it on Monday. When the stock is trading with the dividend, the term cum dividend is used.\n

\n
\n

\nIf you want to sell the stock and still receive the dividend, you need to sell on or after Tuesday the 6th. Different rules apply if the dividend is 25%, or greater, of the value of the security. In this case, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) indicates that the ex-date is the first business day following the payable date.\n

\n
\n

Special Considerations on Dividends

\n

\nThe only other date that is worth mentioning is the date of payment. That is the date the company delivers dividends to the shareholders of record. This can be a week or more after the date of record.\n

\n
\n

\nIt may sound like easy money. Just buy a stock two days before the date of record and grab the dividend.\n

\n
\n

\nIt's not that easy. Remember, the declaration date has passed and everybody else knows when the dividend is going to be paid too. On the ex-dividend date, the stock price will drop by roughly the amount of the dividend as traders acknowledge the reduction in the company's cash reserves.\n

To determine whether you should get a dividend, you need to look at two important dates. They are the \"record date\" or \"date of record\" and the \"ex-dividend date\" or \"ex-date.\"

\n\n

When a company declares a dividend, it sets a record date when you must be on the company's books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. Companies also use this date to determine who is sent proxy statements, financial reports, and other information.

\n\n

\n\n

Once the company sets the record date, the ex-dividend date is set based on stock exchange rules. The ex-dividend date for stocks is usually set one business day before\u00a0the record date. If you purchase a stock on its ex-dividend date or after, you will not receive the next dividend payment. Instead, the seller gets the dividend. If you purchase before the ex-dividend date, you get the dividend.

On September 8, 2017, Company XYZ declares a dividend payable on October 3, 2017 to its shareholders. XYZ also announces that shareholders of record on the company's books on or before September 18, 2017 are entitled to the dividend. The stock would then go ex-dividend one business day before the record date.

\n\n

In this example, the record date falls on a Monday. Excluding weekends and holidays, the ex-dividend is set one business day before the record date or the opening of the market\u2014in this case on the preceding Friday. This means anyone who bought the stock on Friday or after would not get the dividend. At the same time, those who purchase before the ex-dividend date on Friday will receive the dividend.

\n\n

With a significant dividend, the price of a stock may fall by that amount on the ex-dividend date.

\n\n

If the dividend is 25% or more of the stock value, special rules apply to the determination of the ex-dividend date.\u00a0 In these cases, the ex-dividend date will be deferred until one business day after the dividend is paid.\u00a0 In the above example, the ex-dividend date for a stock that\u2019s paying a dividend equal to 25% or more of its value, is October 4, 2017.

\n\n

Sometimes a company pays a dividend in the form of stock rather than cash. The stock dividend may be additional shares in the company or in a subsidiary being spun off. The procedures for stock dividends may be different from cash dividends. The ex-dividend date is set the first business day after the stock dividend is paid (and is also after the record date).

\n\n

If you sell your stock before the ex-dividend date, you also are selling away your right to the stock dividend. Your sale includes an obligation to deliver any shares acquired as a result of the dividend to the buyer of your shares, since the seller will receive an I.O.U. or \"due bill\" from his or her broker for the additional shares. Thus, it is important to remember that the day you can sell your shares without being obligated to deliver the additional shares is\u00a0not\u00a0the first business day after the record date, but usually is the first business day after the stock dividend is paid.

\n\n

\n\n

If you have questions about specific dividends, you should consult with your financial advisor.
