What is record date?
The record date is the date on which the company checks its records to determine which shareholders are eligible to receive the dividend. You have to buy shares at least a day before this date (due to T+1 settlement).
Ex-Dividend Date: It is usually one day before the record date. If you want to get dividend, you have to buy shares before this date.
remember these things
- Investors should remember that dividend income is now taxable.
- Often after the record date of the dividend, the share price falls by the same amount as the dividend was paid.
- Do not judge whether a stock is good or bad based only on the amount of dividend.
- Also keep an eye on what percentage the Dividend Yield is compared to the current price of the share.
