Stocks Going Ex Dividend in April 2022

  Please note that this is a sister publication of WallStreetNewsNetwork ( https://WStNN.com ) and postings will end on this site shortly.

The following is a short list of some of the many stocks going ex dividend during the next month.

Many traders and investors use the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends,’ also commonly referred to as ‘Dividend Capture.’ This is the strategy of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend.

This technique generally works in bull markets and flat or choppy markets, but you need to avoid the strategy during bear markets. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can’t sell the stock until after the ex date.

The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable list of the stocks going ex dividend in the near future. The list contains many dividend paying companies, lots with market caps over $500 million, and some with yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, the periodic dividend amount.

Record date: the day when you must be on the company’s books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks at two business days before the record date.

Payment date: the day on which the dividend payment is actually made, which can be as long at two months after the ex date.

Don’t forget to reconfirm the ex-dividend date with the company before implementing this technique.

You Could have Bought Twitter Yesterday and Made a 16% Profit Today

If you had bought Twitter (TWTR) yesterday, you could have sold the stock today for a 16% profit, based on the closing prices. If you had bought LinkedIn (LNKD) yesterday, you could have sold for a profit today in excess of 10%.

So why did these and other stocks move so much in one day? Earnings announcements. In simple terms, the companies reported financials that made investors happy. Of course, you could have picked the wrong stock, such as Yelp (YELP), which was down 21.5% today or GoPro (GPRO), which tanked 13% today. In that case, you would have lost a lot, unless you had shorted the stock or owned an option straddle.

It's earnings season, and this is the time of year when many popular stocks can really move. If you can choose the right direction, you can bank bucks.

Or if you use the right option spread, you can make money whether the stock goes up or down. Here is an example. Yesterday, you could have bought the February 6 2015 call and put with a strike price of 41. The call traded around 2.60 yesterday and the put at 2.58, for a total cost for the straddle of 5.18 or $518.

Today, you could have sold the straddle for 6.75 or $675. This works out to a profit of over 30% in one day. What's your total risk? $518. What's your potential gain? Unlimited on the upside and around $4,300 on the downside, in the event a black swan hits the stock.

Now you might ask, what other stocks are coming out with earnings reports in the next week? Here is a list for you, which contains a lot of the stocks that can make big moves depending on their earnings.

The Ebola Stocks

The spread of the Ebola virus is a terrible worldwide tragedy that affects governments, people, and businesses throughout the world. I had mixed feelings about publishing this article, as it refers to making money from stocks that are benefiting from this virus. I believe the psychologists refer to this as cognitive dissonance. However, if it wasn't for these companies, there may not have been cures and treatments for many diseases, if businesses didn't have the ability to raise money from selling stock and have a market that is maintained for their shares.

Several low cap companies in the disposable protection business have seen their shares more than triple in the last month. For example, Alpha Pro Tech (APT) went from less than $3 per share to $10 in the last 30 days, but hassince dropped to less than $7 as of the close on the day this was written. The stock has a fairly high price to earnings ratio of 48, and reported an 88.8% quarterly earnings increase on a 9.8% rise in revenues.

The more conservative way to invest in this market is through one of the larger capitalization companies, such as CVS Health (CVS) or Clorox (CLX). Although not a large part of the business, CVS sells gloves, masks, hand sanitizors, and other germ prevention items. The stock trades at 19 times forward earnings and 16 times trailing earnings. Quarterly earnings were up 10.9% on a 10.7% revenue boost. It pays a 1.4% yield. The company reports its next quarterly earnings on November 4.

Clorox trades at 23 times earnings and 20 times forward earnings, with a 7.1% drop in earnings for the latest reported quarter and a slight drop in revenues. The yield is a generous 3.1%. Next earnings report is on Halloween.

If you want a free list of over a dozen Ebola stocks, you can access the list at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. The list includes some financial ratios and the business connection. Let's hope this epidemic gets taken care of quickly.
