Ex Dividend
Ex dividend - also abbreviated as ex div - is a share sold without the right to receive the declared dividend - the payment being due only to those shareholders 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.
