Question
XYZ Company announces a dividend of $2 per share. The record date is June 1, and the dividend payment date is June 10. On which date will the company's stock start trading ex-dividend?a.June 10b.June 11c.June 1d.June 8
Solution
The company's stock will start trading ex-dividend on June 1 (option c).
Here's why:
The ex-dividend date is the date on which a stock starts trading without the value of its next dividend payment. This means that any investors who buy the stock on or after the ex-dividend date will not receive the upcoming dividend.
The ex-dividend date is typically set for stocks two business days before the record date. In this case, the record date is June 1, so the ex-dividend date would also be June 1.
Therefore, the correct answer is option c, June 1.
