Understanding Toro's Ex-Dividend Date

On May 18, 2021, Toro TTC announced shareholders can expect to receive a dividend payable on July 14, 2021. The stock will then go ex-dividend 1 business day(s) before the record date. Toro has an ex-dividend date set for for June 21, 2021. The company's current dividend payout is $0.26, which equates to a dividend yield of 0.94% at current price levels.

What Are Ex-Dividend Dates?

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. Typically, companies will announce and implement new dividend yields on a quarterly basis.
