S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) shares are 1.9% lower at 8,977 points at the time of writing on Friday.
The market is limping towards the finish line after an interest rate rise seriously dampened the ‘vibe’ this week.
ASX All Ords shares are down 2.1% since Monday.
Earnings season officially began this week, and as the half-year (and some full-year) reports come in, dividends are being announced.
Next week, a small group of ASX shares will go ex-dividend.
That means they will start trading without the latest dividend attached.
On the ex-dividend date, it is very common for share prices to fall.
This happens because stocks are simply less valuable without their next dividends attached.
So, keep an eye out for sudden dips in some of your portfolio stocks over the next month or so.
Going ex-dividend will likely be the reason.
Why watch the ex-dividend date?
If you’ve researched an ASX share and are ready to buy, you might want to do so before the ex-dividend date to pick up some income.
Alternatively, you might prefer to wait until the ex-dividend date, when the stock price is likely to fall.
Either option presents an opportunity.
Here are several ASX shares going ex-dividend next week.
The biggest name is ASX All Ords heavyweight ResMed Inc (ASX: RMD), which makes sleep apnoea devices.
We also recap how much these companies will pay investors and when they will deposit the money into their accounts.
