The volatility of a stock over a given time period. It is calculated by determining the average standard deviation from the average price of the stock over one month or 21 business days. Historical volatility can be compared with implied volatility to determine if a stock's options are over- or undervalued.
TD Ameritrade displays two types of stock earnings numbers, which are calculated differently and may report different values for the same period. GAAP earnings are the official numbers reported by a company, and non-GAAP earnings are adjusted to be more readable in earnings history and forecasts.
Investors looking for ongoing income from their investments often buy stock in dividend-paying companies for the earnings distributions they receive. To maximize profits, these investors must pay close attention to several important dates, one of which is the ex-dividend date.
Ex-dividend refers to a stock that trades without the value of the next dividend payment. A stock is ex-dividend if it trades on or after the ex-dividend date. If you buy a stock after it has gone ex-dividend, you will own the stock but will not get the next dividend payment for that stock. Instead, the payment will go to the person who sold you the stock.
Quick tip: When you buy a stock that has gone ex-dividend, you only lose the next dividend payment. In addition, the price of the ex-dividend stock will typically drop by the amount of the missed dividend so you will be buying the stock at a discount.
The ex-dividend date is important to dividend investors because of the role it plays in determining who gets the next dividend payment. If you own a stock and want to make sure you get the next dividend payment, don't sell the stock until the ex-dividend date or later. If you buy a stock and want to make sure you get the next dividend payment, buy the stock before the ex-dividend date.
The ex-dividend date acts as a buffer to make sure there's enough time to complete a transfer of stock ownership from the seller to the buyer. This is why in order to receive the upcoming dividend payment you must buy the stock before the ex-dividend date.
If the dividends or distributions are less than 25% of the value of the stock, the ex-dividend date is one business day before the record date and the stock price is adjusted down on the ex-dividend date to reflect the amount of the dividend.
The second method, for dividends or distributions that are 25% or greater of the value of the stock, sets the ex-dividend date as the first business day after the payment date, making that the date the stock goes ex-dividend with the price adjusted down. In this case, the regulation provides that the owner of record who sells the stock before the ex-dividend date has to relinquish the dividend to the buyer. This is to prevent the seller from receiving the value of the dividend twice.
Example 1: On August 11, 2021, you purchase 100 shares of XYZ stock at $50 for $5,000. Since you initiated the purchase before the ex-dividend date, and assuming settlement occurs two business days later, you'll be the shareholder of record on the record date (August 13, 2021) and you will receive a dividend payment of $200 ($2 x 100 shares) on September 17, 2021.
Example 2: On the other hand, if you wait just one day and initiate the purchase on August 12, 2021, settlement will not occur until August 14, 2021, meaning the person you bought the shares from will be the owner of record on August 13. However, instead of paying $5,000 for the stock you will pay $4,800 ($5,000 - $200) since the stock would be trading ex-dividend.
The settlement date, the day you actually own the stock, is what determines whether you receive the upcoming dividend as a buyer or a seller. Settlement dates are described as T+1, T+2, T+3, etc. meaning settlement occurs one, two, or three business days after T (i.e., the trade day).
Currently, stocks settle following the T+2 formula. In order for you as a buyer to receive the dividend, your settlement must occur on or before the record date. It takes three days to settle: the day the trade is initiated (T) plus two business days. The second business day is the settlement date.
T+2 settlement hasn't been around forever. Back when trades were done manually, settlement was T+5. It has been shortened over the years until now stocks use T+2 settlement. Looking ahead, the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is proposing moving the US to T+1 (next day) settlement by 2023.
According to Marc Lichtenfeld, chief income strategist at the Oxford Club, "Dividend capture is a strategy where an investor buys the stock before the ex-dividend date and sells on or right after the ex-dividend date in order to capture the dividend."
The idea is to purchase the stock, "capture" the dividend, and sell the stock on or after the ex-dividend date at no loss or a slight gain, keeping the dividend as profit. Advocates of dividend capture strategy sometimes use ex-dividend date tracking tools to search for stocks that are going ex-dividend during a specific date range.
Lichtenfeld says the strategy doesn't work because of that rule requiring stocks to go down by the amount of the dividend on the ex-dividend date. This, Lichtenfeld believes, creates "too much risk that the stock would fall as much as the dividend paid or more."
