Home Depot Goes Ex-Dividend
Home Depot went ex-dividend today, with a $2.33 per share payout later this month.
The ex-dividend date is the day on which a stock starts trading without the value of its next dividend payment. If you purchase a stock on or after its ex-dividend date, you will not receive the dividend. Home Depot's $2.33 per share dividend will be paid out later in March. Investors who owned the stock before today will receive the payment. Dividends can be an important component of an investor's overall return. Receiving consistent dividend payments can provide a steady stream of income.
