Upcoming Dividends To Watch Out For In May

|

When a company announces that it has made a profit in its financial reports, you will be entitled to a portion of those profits based on the number of shares you own. This is referred to as dividends. Dividends are typically paid on a per-stock basis. Some traders prefer to purchase the stock two or three days before the effective dividend date, keep it until the effective dividend date, and then sell it the day after the effective dividend date in order to collect dividends. This approach works well for stocks that pay out a high dividend yield. A business can, for example, announce a dividend of Rs 10 per share for a set period of time. You will earn Rs 5000 in dividends if you owned 500 shares during the time period. Some of the best dividend-paying stocks pay out dividends on a regular basis.

 

When are you eligible for Dividends?

To begin, determine whether you are eligible for dividends. You must have bought the stocks before the ex-date to be eligible for the dividends, while you will be eligible for dividends if you have sold the stocks on ex-date as well. You would not be liable for the dividend if you bought the stocks on or after the ex-date. The due date for dividends is typically 30-45 days after the record date.

If you are registered for dividends, you can receive them on the dividend payment date in your bank account. The dividend would be credited to your trading account if you sold shares from your holdings on the ex-date. The specifics of the ex-date and record date can be found on the NSE/BSE website.

Dividends are paid at the discretion of the company. Companies are not required by law to pay you dividends.

Dividend Yield

It indicates how much a corporation paid out in dividends over the course of a year. The dividend yield is calculated as a percentage of the stock's current market value. It gives you an idea of how much money you've made (in percentages) from your savings.

Dividend Yield= Cash Dividend per share/ Market price of share*100
