Stocks Going Ex Dividend in September 2018

Please note that this is a sister publication of WallStreetNewsNetwork ( http://WStNN.com ) and eventually everything on this site will be transferred over there.

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 many with yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, the periodic dividend amount, and annual yield.

Dividend definitions:

Declaration date: the day that the company declares that there is going to be an upcoming dividend.

Ex-dividend date: the day on which if you buy the stock, you would not be entitled to that particular dividend; or the first day on which a shareholder can sell the shares and still be entitled to the dividend.

Monthly Dividend Stock List

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.

NASDAQ and ICE Making Takeover Offer for NYSE

Nasdaq (NDAQ) and IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) are making a joint offer of $11.3 billion offer for NYSE Euronext (NYX), the parent of the New York Stock Exchange. I have previously predicted stock exchange takeover activity in an article back in February. Just one week later, the NYSE Euronext and Deutsche Börse (DBOEY.PK), which operates the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, had agreed to a $10 billion stock merger.

NYSE Euronext, Inc. operates the New York Stock Exchange, Euronext and NYSE Arca. The stock trades at 13 times forward earnings and pays a yield of 3.4%.

The biggest American competitor to NYX is Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. which trades on its own exchange. NASDAQ was founded in 1971, and went public in 2002. It is the largest electronic screen-based equity securities trading market in the United States and second-largest by market capitalization in the world. The stock has a forward P/E of 10.

IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. (ICE) operates regulated futures exchange and over-the-counter markets, and derivatives clearing exchanges. The stock trades at 16 times forward earnings.

CME Group Inc. (CME) operates the CME, CBOT, NYMEX, and COMEX futures and options exchanges that trade futures contracts and options on futures contracts on interest rates, stock indexes, and other investments. The stock has a forward PE ratio of 16 and sports a yield of 1.9%.

Top Stock Exchange Stocks

The London Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange, which is owned by the TMX Group holding company, announced that they are merging, which will create one of the largest stock exchanges in the world, trading more than 6,700 companies. Will this be the beginning of more merger activity in stock exchange companies? If so, maybe it is time to look at the ones that are publicly traded.

NYSE Euronext, Inc. (NYX) operates the New York Stock Exchange, Euronext and NYSE Arca. The stock trades at 15 times forward earnings and pays a yield of 3.7%.

The biggest American competitor to NYX is Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. (NDAQ) which trades on NASDAQ of course. Although NASDAQ was founded in 1971, it went public in 2002. It is the largest electronic screen-based equity securities trading market in the United States and second-largest by market capitalization in the world. The stock has a forward P/E of 10.

Cyber Attackers Hit the NYSE and NASDAQ

Apparently, the cyber attackers that hit the the White House, the Pentagon, the National Security Agency, Homeland Security Department, State Department, the Treasury Department, Federal Trade Commission and Secret Service, have also attacked the New York Stock Exchange (NYX) and NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (NDAQ). The NYSE and NASDAQ seemed to have survived the attacks OK, but some governmental agencies are still experiencing residual effects.
