Shinji-97 : ifthe record date is the same as the ex-dividend date, this situation is unusual because the ex-dividend date is typically one business day before the record date (for most exchanges like the NYSE or NASDAQ). However, if it does happen, here's how it works:
Key Implications:
Ex-Dividend Date Determines Eligibility:
The ex-dividend date is the critical date for determining dividend eligibility. You must own the stock before the market opens on the ex-dividend date to be eligible for the dividend.
Record Date Validation:
The record date is when the company checks its books to confirm eligible shareholders. If the record date is the same as the ex-dividend date, you must have purchased the stock at least one business day before (because stock settlements usually follow a T+2 rule).
Scenarios:
If You Buy Before the Ex-Dividend/Record Date:
You are eligible to receive the dividend.
If You Buy On or After the Ex-Dividend/Record Date:
You are not eligible for the dividend because the stock will trade without the dividend value starting on the ex-dividend date.
Example Scenario:
Let’s say:
Ex-Dividend Date: December 31, 2024
Record Date: December 31, 2024
Payment Date: January 1, 2025
To be eligible:
You must purchase the stock on or before December 30, 2024 (settlement completes by the record date).
If you buy the stock on December 31, 2024 (ex-dividend date), you will not receive the dividend.
