How to read a dividend calendar
Ex-dividend date: The most important date for timing purposes. Shares must be purchased before the market opens on the ex-date for the buyer to be entitled to the declared dividend. A stock's price often adjusts downward by approximately the dividend amount on the ex-date, though market conditions can mask this.
Record date: The company-side cutoff for identifying entitled shareholders. Under most settlement conventions, the record date falls one business day after the ex-date. Shareholders registered on the record date will receive the payment.
Payment date: The date on which the dividend is transferred to eligible shareholders, either directly to brokerage accounts or via nominees. The gap between ex-date and payment date can range from a few weeks to several months depending on the company and jurisdiction.
Amount and currency: The declared amount per share in the reporting currency. For S&P/ASX 200 stocks this is AUD. Exchange rates are not considered here; international investors should account for currency conversion and any applicable withholding tax.
