Why Ex-Dividend Dates Matter for Investors
The ex-dividend date is crucial for income-focused investors. If you purchase a stock on or after this date, you will not be eligible for the declared dividend. To receive the dividend, the stock must be bought at least one day before the ex-dividend date.
This list provides opportunities for both long-term investors seeking dividend income and short-term traders looking to benefit from stock price movements around dividend declarations.
