S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares are up 0.4% to 8,814.7 points on Tuesday.
ASX 200 companies are slowly rolling out their dividend reinvestment plans (DRPs) following last month's earnings season.
This includes announcing their DRP share prices based on a set period of post-results trading.
DRPs enable shareholders to automatically reinvest their dividends in more shares instead of receiving a cash payment.
The DRP share price is the price investors pay, with the use of their dividends, to buy more stock in the company.
ASX companies occasionally offer a DRP discount to encourage investors to reinvest in more stock.
Most companies use an average aggregate share price calculated from a set period of trading days after the dividend record date.
With the ASX 200 falling 1.8% in September so far, some shareholders will receive a more favourable DRP price.
Most ASX 200 companies issue the new DRP shares on the same day that they pay the cash dividends to non-participating investors.
Let's take a look at the DRP share prices just announced by a few ASX 200 companies.
