I'm trying to understand how ex-dividend works. Could someone explain the concept and how it affects shareholders who own stocks before and after the ex-dividend date?

    The ex-dividend date, often referred to as the "ex-date," plays a crucial role in this process.

    Typically, the ex-date falls one business day prior to the record date.

    On or after the ex-dividend date, investors who acquire shares of a stock will not be eligible to receive the next dividend payment.

    The term ex-dividend signifies that a company has determined its dividend allocations.

    This rule ensures that only shareholders who are on the company's record as of the record date are entitled to the dividend.
