Ex Dividend

Ex dividend - also abbreviated as ex div - is a share sold without the right to receive the declared dividend payment, which is marked as due to those shareholders who are on the share register at a pre-announced date.

The stock market authorities usually specify the date on which a share will begin trading ex div. The share price invariably drops when the share goes ex dividend, taking the known income of the dividend out of the share price.
