Friday Is Your Last Chance To Buy Baker Hughes Before The Dividend Payout

Friday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Baker Hughes BKR.

What's Happening

The company announced on Friday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 18 per share. On Monday, Baker Hughes will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 18 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, Monday. Shareholders who own BKR as of the end of Friday's session are eligible to receive the 18 dividend payout for every share that they own.

According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on August 19, 2022. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
