On Thursday, a few ASX 200 shares are scheduled to trade ex-dividend.
When a share goes ex-dividend, it means that the rights to an upcoming dividend payment are settled and any shares you buy will not receive this payout.
This means that today is the final day for investors to buy these ASX 200 shares if they want to receive their impending dividend payments.
The following ASX 200 shares are going ex-dividend tomorrow:
Fletcher Building Ltd (ASX: FBU)
This building products company released its half-year results last month and reported a 46% decline in profit to NZ$92 million. However, with this largely driven by construction provisions, the Fletcher Building board was able to declare a fully franked interim dividend of 18 New Zealand cents per share. This was almost in line with last year's payout and equates to 16.4 Australian cents per share. It will be paid to shareholders on 6 April.
IGO Ltd (ASX: IGO)
This battery materials miner released its half-year report last month and delivered one of the strongest results of earnings season. Thanks to sky high lithium prices, IGO's net profit after tax surged 552% to $591 million. This allowed the miner to declare a record fully franked interim dividend of 14 cents per share, which will be paid to shareholders at the end of the month on 31 March.
Spark New Zealand Ltd (ASX: SPK)
Last month, this New Zealand telco released its half-year results and declared an unfranked interim dividend of 13.5 New Zealand cents per share. This equates to 12.2 Australian cents per share, which is up 5.2% year over year. This will be paid to eligible shareholders next month on 6 April.
