The dividends from the latest ASX earnings reporting season are drying up. If you own a portfolio of All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) shares, chances are you've bagged yourself a dividend over the past few weeks. If that's the case, congratulations.
But while most ASX All Ords shares have paid out their biannual dividends, we still have some stragglers to report on. Next week, we'll see no fewer than four All Ords stocks scheduled to trade ex-dividend.
Ex-dividend?
When a company trades ex-dividend, it draws a line in the sand over which investors are eligible for an upcoming dividend payment, as well as any associated franking credits.
If investors own a company's shares at the close of trading one day before the ex-dividend date, they will be eligible for the particular payout. But bad luck for any investor who buys that company's shares on or after the ex-dividend date.
As such, it's important for investors to keep abreast of the ex-dividend dates of any ASX All Ords share they wish to receive a paycheque from.
So, with all that in mind, here's the list of the ASX All Ords shares that will experience this very phenomenon next week:
4 ASX All Ords shares trading ex-dividend next week
| ASX All Ords share | Dividend per share | Ex-dividend date | Dividend payday | Dividend yield* |
| Brickworks Ltd (ASX: BKW) | 24 cents (fully franked) | 9 April | 1 May | 2.36% |
| Duxton Water Ltd (ASX: D2O) | 3.6 cents (fully franked) | 11 April | 26 April | 4.73% |
| Cosol Ltd (ASX: COS) | 1 cent (fully franked) | 11 April | 13 May | 2.02% |
| Kogan.com Ltd (ASX: KGN) | 7.5 cents (fully franked) | 12 April | 31 May | 0.95% |
*Dividend yield as of Thursday's close
But that's not all, folks. There are a slew of popular ASX exchange-traded funds (ETFs) from provider BlackRock that are also scheduled to go ex-dividend (or ex-distribution in this case) next week on 9 April.
These include the iShares Core S&P/ASX 200 ETF (ASX: IOZ), the iShares Treasury ETF (ASX: IGB) and the iShares Core Cash ETF (ASX: BILL), among others.
Whilst not technically ASX All Ords shares, these ETFs will still all pay out their respective distributions.
So keep your eyes on any or all of these investments next week if you own any of them, or perhaps if you are just looking for a share price dip before your next buy.
