When a company declares a dividend, they use three critical dates to manage who gets paid. Here is what they mean in simple terms:
1. Ex-Dividend Date
This is the most important date for investors. It dictates who is eligible to receive the declared dividend.
If you buy a stock on or after the ex-dividend date, you will not receive the upcoming dividend payout (the seller gets it instead).
To get the dividend, you must buy and own the stock before this date.
2. Record Date
This is the day the company checks its official books to compile the list of all registered shareholders who qualify for the dividend. You don't need to do anything special here; as long as you bought the stock before the Ex-Dividend Date, your name will automatically be on this list when the Record Date arrives.
3. Pay Date (The Payday)
The best day of all! This is the actual date the company deposits the dividend money directly into your brokerage account or sends out the payments.
Dividend season is one of the ultimate reward for your patience. It’s time to let your capital work for you.
here are some key positions to watch:
Seplat Energy: ₦122.29/share (Ex-Div: June 8th)
Dangote Cement: ₦45.00/share (Ex-Div: June 18th)
Ecobank: ₦2.15/share (Ex-Div: June 15th)
UAC: ₦1.00/share (Ex-Div: June 12th).
