Tuesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Eaton Vance Floating-rate (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EFT#NYSE">EFT</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Thursday that it would pay shareholders a monthly dividend of 11 cents per share. On Wednesday, Eaton Vance Floating-rate will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 11 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, Wednesday. Shareholders who own EFT as of the end of Tuesday's session are eligible to receive the 11 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on June 30, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.

<h2>Understanding Ex-Dividend Dates&#39;</h2>
An ex-dividend date is when a company&#39;s shares stop trading with its current dividend payout in preparation for the company to announce a new one. Usually, a company&#39;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. Typically, companies will announce and implement new dividend yields on a quarterly basis.
<h2>Understanding Eaton Vance Floating-rate&#39;s Dividend History</h2>
Over the past year, Eaton Vance Floating-rate has experienced no change regarding its dividend payouts and a downward trend regarding its yields. Last year on December 23, 2020 the company&#39;s payout was $0.06, which has returned to its value today. Eaton Vance Floating-rate&#39;s dividend yield last year was 5.84%, which has since decreased by 0.65%. 
Companies use dividend yields in different strategic ways. Some companies may opt to not give yields altogether to reinvest in themselves. Other companies may opt to increase or decrease their yield amounts to control how their shares circulate throughout the stock market.

<h2>Why Insider Transactions Are Important?</h2>
Insider transactions shouldn&#39;t be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision.
When an insider buys stock after an important sell off, that can indicate the insider&#39;s faith in the success of the organization. Henceforth, if the stock is bought at new highs, it might be because the insider feels that the stock is not overvalued. Insiders who sell stock at new lows could be anticipating some capitulation moment. If the insider sells at new highs, it could point to the intention to &quot;take some profit&quot; and &quot;lock in a gain.&quot;
<h2>Transaction Codes To Focus On</h2>
Wall Street tends to focus on insider transactions which take place in the open market, viewed inside a Form 4 filing via codes P for purchase and S for sale. If the transaction was an open-market transaction, that means that the insider made a concious decision for the company&#39;s stock moving forward.
Transaction codes other than P or S are often viewed with less conviction as they are often not tied to a decision by the exec. As an example, transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option. Transaction code A indicates the insider may have been forced to sell shares in order to receive compensation the exec was promised upon being hired by a company.
