If a stock goes XD on 20th & I click buy the stock on 19th, then will I get.....

I am new to stock buying.

I have a question on stocks dividend .

I saw the website show that ComfortDelgro will go on 20th of August.

If I only place the buy order for Comfortdelgro on 19th of August, then will I get the dividends for Comfortdelgro??

Can someone help to answer my this above question?

Hi Better,

Yes, as long as you purchase the stock before the Ex-Dividend date you are entitled the dividend declared. In the case of Comfort & Delgro, the is on 20 Aug 2021 so as long as you buy the share before 20th Aug 2021, you are entitled the interim dividend of 2.1 cts per shares which will be paid on 2nd Sep 2021.

With Regards,
