What is a Dividend Date

When we talk about a dividend date, we’re referring specifically to the ex-dividend date.

This is the date on which all stockholders will earn a dividend. Technically, a person needs to be the owner of a share of stock as of the night before the ex-dividend date in order to earn the dividend.

The ex-dividend date is different than the date when the dividend is issued. Although you earn a dividend on the ex-dividend date, that dividend is typically not disbursed to your account until several weeks later.

Most brokerages will automatically credit the dividend to your account once it’s issued.

Owning NRG Energy Inc. Stock on the Dividend Date

If you own NRG Energy Inc. stock on the ex-dividend date, then you earn the associated dividend.

Theoretically, the price of NRG Energy Inc. stock should go down by the amount of the dividend (in addition to any other pressures that market forces have on the price of NRG Energy Inc. stock).

Therefore, it is typically not expected that there is any incremental profit to be gained from buying NRG Energy Inc. stock right before the ex-dividend date and then selling it immediately after. It’s not like you get the NRG Energy Inc. dividend payout for free just by doing that since there is typically an equivalent commensurate drop in the stock price.
