Understanding Texas Pacific Land's Ex-Dividend Date

On August 3, 2021, Texas Pacific Land TPL announced shareholders can expect to receive a dividend payable on September 15, 2021. The stock will then go ex-dividend 1 business day(s) before the record date. Texas Pacific Land, which has a current dividend per share of $2.75, has an ex-dividend date scheduled for September 7, 2021. That equates to a dividend yield of 0.74% at current price levels.

The Significance Of An Ex-Dividend Date

An ex-dividend date signals when a company's shares cease to trade with its current dividend payout. There is a small intermission period before the company announces a new dividend. Usually, a company's ex-dividend date falls one business day before its record date. Investors should keep this in mind when purchasing stocks because buying them on or after ex-dividend dates does not qualify them to receive the declared payment. Newly declared dividends go to shareholders who have owned that stock before the ex-dividend date. Most ex-dividend dates operate on a quarterly basis.

Understanding Texas Pacific Land's Dividend History
