It's almost dividend time for the four ASX All Ordinaries (ASX: XAO), or ASX All Ords, shares I will cover in this article.
The ex-dividend date is essential for investors focused on passive income. Its date is when investors will no longer be entitled to the dividend of an ASX share. For example, if the ex-dividend date is 30 June 2023, then 29 June 2023 is the last date people can gain entitlement to the upcoming dividend.
Investors that already own shares don't need to do anything. They receive entitlement to the dividend simply by holding the shares.
From here, the dividend payment comes next, though there's no set timeframe for when the cash will be sent to investors.
So, let's look at which businesses plan to pay dividends soon.
