Ex-dividend is a very important term for dividend investors to be familiar with. It is, in fact, critical to understand. It can be a great disappointment for an investor to buy a stock in anticipation of receiving the next dividend, only to discover heâs not entitled to it.
Ex-Dividend Date To further complicate matters, dividend-paying stocks also have what are called ex-dividend dates--usually two business days before the record date. If you buy or sell shares of stock between the ex-dividend date and the record date, the stock is said to trade without its dividend during that period.n that case, the ex-dividend date is the first business day after the stock dividend is paid (and is obviously also after the record date). Thus, if you sell your stock before the ex-dividend date and the company has distributed additional shares, you have sold away your right to that stock dividend, too.
