Optimal behavior of a dividend share.

If it were always like this.... Admittedly, this is not the rule, which $MO (+1,19 %) shown here. But it's also a nice example of someone who is happy about their dividend shares.

At 1 is the closing price from 24.03.2025, yesterday on 25.03. was the ex-dividend day of € 0.95 rounded. This was also priced in immediately and led to the usual daily fluctuations, only to close at 2 at the level of the pure dividend discount. Today everything was made up again, so that in this case the dividend less taxes was cäsh in the däsch.

It's just a shame that you can't and shouldn't get used to it.

How can such a thing even be possible, the dividend is always deducted from the share price 🤯and the share will end up at €0 at some point 😂

@Simpson all good, we know how things can and often do work, this is just a nice example of how things can be different. Watch out, tomorrow they will drop 5% because of nothing.... 😂

@Dividendenopi It's all theory, in practice it's usually different 😂 For example, I have a few growth stocks in my savings plan that don't pay dividends, although nothing is deducted from the price, I'm strangely at minus 20%🤣

@Simpson How is that possible? I always thought that shares without dividends don't fall

Epi@Epi

In other words, are you happy about +2% that happened to fall on the ex-divi day?

Jun@Ji_hyun

that is not short-sighted ?

@Ji_hyun ne hold. Reits recover after the complete interest rate cut.

@Wojtek I feel so impatient

SemiGrowth@SemiGrowth

has nothing to do with the dividend, is just normal vola. Or would you have made a post if Altria had gone up 2% just like that?

Dividendenopi👴@Dividendenopi

@SemiGrowth No, not otherwise either. In this case, a rare example of how things should always work optimally, at least according to me. Divi discount down, the next day the share price has recovered as if nothing had happened. And then it continues to go up... 😇😉 We've written and discussed a lot here recently about the pros and cons of dividends, and one reason that was often cited was that dividends are not a miraculous increase in money and the payout is based on the share price and is also taxable. The example here shows it differently. But nobody begrudges me a laugh here....

@Dividendenopi Does it show a miraculous increase in money? Does it do that?

How does it work? Magic?

Dividend shares bring nothing 🤡
Want an example?
$MAIN Bought Nov.23 for EUR 39.00 - today 22nd dividend collected (USD 1.05 / quarter) - and current price EUR 53.xx
So: an absolute zero number 👻
