Monday Is Your Last Chance To Buy Ameren Before The Dividend Payout

Monday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Ameren AEE.

What's Happening

The company announced on Friday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 59 cents per share. On Tuesday, Ameren will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 59 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.

In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Tuesday. Shareholders who own AEE as of the end of Monday's session are eligible to receive the 59 cents dividend payout for every share that they own.

According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on September 30, 2022. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
