In dividend investing, ex-dividend dates are extremely important because investor must own the stock prior to its ex-dividend date in order to be eligible to get its most recently declared dividend. Those who are not in the company’s record books on the date of record would fail to receive the dividend payment. It should be kept in mind that to ensure you are in the record books, you will be required to buy the shares before the ex-dividend date arrives.
So, ex-dividend date is the first day an owner of the stock can sell it without losing the rights to get its next dividend and the first day when a buyer who acquires the stock will not receive that same dividend.
