Jackson Teo asked 2 years ago

Hi team, if I’m eyeing to buy a share and company has announced dividends, does it makes sense to buy first to get the dividends or wait until ex-dividend so as to buy the shares at lower entry point?

Hi Jackson, Usually when the dividend goes ex, the share price will usually drop by the amount of the dividend announced. So not much difference.
