Some of the most popular dividend shares on the local share market are scheduled to trade ex-dividend this morning and are likely to drop notably lower.

This is because when a share trades ex-dividend it means they are trading without the rights to an upcoming dividend payment.

Because buyers aren't entitled to the next dividend payment, the share price will usually drop in value by the amount of the expected dividend.
