A number of popular ASX 200 shares are likely to fall tomorrow despite no news coming from the companies.
The conclusion of the February earnings season has led to a vast majority of ASX shares trading ex-dividend in March.
The ex-dividend date is when investors must have purchased a company's shares beforehand to be eligible for the upcoming dividend. If an investor buys the shares on or after this date, the dividend will go to the seller.
Below, we take a look at the list of shares that are trading ex-dividend tomorrow.

TPG Telecom Ltd (ASX: TPG) shares will also trade ex-dividend on Tuesday for the telco giant's fully franked 8.5 cents per share final dividend. Shareholders will have to wait until 13 April for their paycheck. TPG shares are fetching for $5.66 apiece, up 1.25%.
