With earnings season rolling on this week, it's probably about time we once again take stock of the ASX 200 shares that have an upcoming ex-dividend date.
When most ASX 200 shares report their latest earnings, they usually also take the time to let investors know what the next dividend the company is going to pay out will look like (if there indeed is one).
Next week, we're going to have a plethora of ASX 200 shares – 25 to be exact – trading ex-dividend for their next shareholder payment.
Remember, the ex-dividend date represents the cutoff date for an upcoming dividend, and any associated franking credits. So if you wish to receive a particular dividend payment, you'll need to make sure you own that company's stock before the shares go 'ex-div'.
