Dividend basics
How are dividends calculated?
A company declares a dividend per share, such as $0.50 a quarter. You receive that amount for every share you own on the record date. 200 shares × $0.50 = $100 for that payment, or $400 over a year of four payments.
What is the ex-dividend date?
It is the first day a new buyer does not get the next dividend. To be paid, you need to buy before the ex-date. In the US, since T+1 settlement started in May 2024, the ex-date and the record date are the same day.
What is a good dividend yield?
There is no single answer. Broad US stock indexes have yielded under 2% in recent years, many established dividend payers yield 2% to 5%, and yields far above that often mean the market doubts the dividend will last. A lower yield that grows can end up paying more over time.
Do you store the numbers I enter?
