皆赫 : It's just a dividend exclusion
Danielwang002 : Ex dividend
草根之怒 : I didn't read the right to remove it!
102355167 OP 皆赫 : Hi could you explain what that means
plucky Dolphin_2368 102355167 OP : they pay you for having their stock, this was subtracted from the stocks price.
皆赫 102355167 OP : If dividends are excluded, dividends are deducted and distributed to shareholders, the stock price is reduced
HowDidIHuatSoFast : near the date of distributing dividend, alot of people buy to qualify for the dividend causing the price to go up.
after dividend is distributed, the asset of the company in terms of cash lessen, and it will be some time before the next dividend, so people sell the share causing the price to fall.
102355167 OP 皆赫 : So to confirm my understanding , because I did not qualify for the dividends due to buying too late , dividends are still being deducted and distributed to shareholders causing the price to fall from 23USD to 19 USD ?
皆赫 102355167 OP : Right, trap
6686 : if u had observed it closely, it goes like this. the previous closing price was $23.40 and then it dropped to exactly $17.00 which was a $6.40 drop, most probably because they took part of the share price to pay investors back and then ZIM went up to $19+ and now back to $17+
