What is an Upcoming Dividend?

Companies announce upcoming dividends for their shareholders. It is basically a payout that you are going to receive in the future if you hold its stocks. Usually, dividends are provided in the form of cash or extra shares.
Every company has a board of directors. This board is responsible for the approval of dividends. They follow a regular schedule, which may be quarterly, half-yearly, or annually, based on which you get the dividends.
After they announce the dividends, you get to know important dates like the ex-dividend date, record date, and payment date. These are shared with the public. However, you must invest in the stock before the ex-dividend date, so that you are eligible to receive the dividend. Investors closely track these events.

Why Upcoming Dividends Matter to Investors?

Why do you think an upcoming dividend should matter to investors? Suppose you invest in a stock to gain consistent returns. Dividends provide you with a consistent cash flow, which you can predict based on the dividend record of the company. You can even reinvest this extra amount to benefit from compounding in the long run.

Check out the reasons why it is important to track upcoming dividends.

  • Additional Income: Income through dividends is actually a steady flow of cash. It supplements other sources of income and helps to grow your wealth.
  • Financial Strength: Investors rely on companies with a record of regular dividend payouts. Consistency in this aspect shows that the business is financially sound. Their earnings are stable, and the company has a healthy reserve of cash.
  • Total Returns: When you consistently receive dividends, they significantly add to the overall returns of your portfolio. These payouts can minimize the effect of volatility when markets are unstable.
  • Positive Outlook: What’s the first thing investors feel about a company that pays dividends? It’s financially stable and therefore, reliable. This helps you build confidence, and you continue to hold the stocks or buy more shares.

Key Dates to Track for Upcoming Dividends

You must remember the important dates associated with upcoming dividends.

  • Declaration Date: On the declaration date, the company officially states that it is going to pay the dividend. You will get to know the amount, whether it is cash or stock, and the timeframe.
  • Ex-Dividend Date: You must buy the shares before the ex-dividend date. Those who already hold the stocks before this date will receive the dividends.
  • Record Date: The company checks the shareholders on the record date. On this day, they identify who all are entitled to get the dividend.
  • Payment Date: Finally, you get the dividend on the payment date. The additional amount is either credited to your bank account or your demat account in the form of new shares.

How Upcoming Dividends Impact Stock Prices?

As an investor, you must understand how dividend announcements influence the prices of stocks.


1. Before the Ex-Dividend Date

When a company declares that it is going to pay dividends, investors try to buy the shares before the ex-dividend date. This leads to a bullish momentum over a short period.


2. On the Ex-Dividend Date

On this day, you will notice that the price of the stock is lower by an amount almost equal to the amount that is supposed to be paid as a dividend. This implies, new buyers cannot receive the dividend anymore even if they buy shares.


3. Impact of Market Sentiment

Sometimes, companies declare dividends that are higher than what investors expect. As a result, a positive sentiment grips the market. The opposite situation is also possible.


How Traders & Investors Use Upcoming Dividends

If you’re a trader or an investor, you can use upcoming dividends in various strategies.


1. For Long-Term Investors:

  • Income Planning: Investors use dividend income to manage their cash flow. Particularly, if they’re planning for retirement or have regular needs, they can plan their expenses.
  • Reinvestment: Many investors decide to reinvest the amount received through dividends. Since this is an additional amount, it helps in creating wealth over the long term.
  • Evaluating the Company: When a company regularly pays dividends, it shows that the company is stable and financially disciplined. Accordingly, long-term investors can devise their strategies.

2. For Traders:

  • Price Action Strategy: As a trader, you must look out for the dates to make necessary price adjustments around the ex-dividend date.
  • Volatility: Investors are usually excited about dividend payouts. This results in price movements over the short term, which opens up new trading opportunities.
