Earnings season is starting to wrap up on the ASX now that summer is officially over and we're into March. But after earnings season, dividend season continues. The ASX boards are already seeing the interim (and final) dividends announced in 2024 getting rolled out the door.
Next week will see this income stream accelerate, with no fewer than 34 ASX 200 shares scheduled to trade ex-dividend.
When a share goes ex-dividend, it means that anyone buying the shares from that date onwards is ineligible for the upcoming dividend payment in question.
As such, if you want any of the dividends that the following 34 ASX 200 shares are lining up to pay, make sure you own them before each company's ex-dividend date.
Dividends have a cost to a company's valuation, seeing as the cash is gone once it goes out the company's door. So don't be surprised if you see these shares fall substantially in value when their ex-dividend date does come around.
So, without further ado, here's a comprehensive list of the 34 ASX 200 shares that will experience this phenomenon next week.

Foolish takeaway
So there you have it, the 34 ASX 200 shares set to trade 'ex-div' next week. Remember, you'll need to own share shares of any dividend payers before they trade ex-dividend if you wish to receive the payments this time around.
Even if you're a day late and buy shares on the ex-dividend date, you'll have to wait for the second payout of 2024 (if indeed there is one).
