What is an ex-dividend date?

The ex-dividend date is the date by which you must own shares to receive the upcoming dividend. If you buy shares on or after the ex-dividend date, you won't receive that particular dividend payment. Typically, you need to buy shares at least one business day before the ex-dividend date.

Why is the ex-dividend date important?

The ex-dividend date determines whether you qualify for a dividend payment. It's also when the share price typically adjusts downward by approximately the dividend amount. Understanding ex-dividend dates helps with investment timing decisions.
