S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares are down 1% to 8,757.5 points on Wednesday.
Following earnings season, ASX companies are now paying out dividends and implementing their dividend reinvestment plans (DRPs).
DRPs enable shareholders to automatically reinvest their dividends in more shares instead of receiving a cash payment.
Each company has a formula for determining the DRP share price that investors will pay, using their dividends, to buy more shares.
Most companies use an average aggregate share price calculated from a defined period of trading after the dividend record date.
Sometimes, they offer a DRP discount to entice investors to reinvest.
Let's take a look at some DRP share prices.
