If you purchase shares on or after April 25, you won’t be eligible to receive the dividend declared for this cycle.On the ex-dividend date, the stock typically opens at a slightly lower price, reflecting the amount of the dividend being paid out. This is a normal market adjustment, since the dividend is no longer part of the stock’s value for new buyers.
Why It Matters for Investors
For long-term investors, dividend payouts provide a source of passive income and can be reinvested to grow holdings. For short-term traders or those timing purchases, understanding ex-dividend dates can help align buying decisions with income opportunities.
