It's almost dividend time for a number of S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares that are about to go ex-dividend. Investors don't have long left if they want to grab a slice of this passive income that's about to be paid.
An ex-dividend date is the day that investors buying shares will no longer be entitled to the declared dividend, or distribution. For example, if the ex-dividend date is 26 June 2023, then investors need to own shares by the end of trading on 25 June 2023.
Also, it's common for the share price of a business to drop on the ex-dividend date, because investors have lost out on the value of the dividend.
