RE: nobody seems to want the divi.9 Nov 2018 12:41
Stew Hi,
Don't mention the ex divi as we have lost a fortune since the last one, 10p divi.
SP day before last 6 th June EXD 1.96
SP Ex DD 7th June 1.87 dropping
SP current 1.43
So with a +10p divi we are now down from 1.96 to 1.43 a - 53p so an overall Minus approx 43p about 27% loss.
To answer your question where will the price be on ex divi date, trusting my math is nearly right say at current SP of say 143 minus 27% = approx 1.04.
That's assuming a SP at the ex divi date late November to come, at the current SP of 143, it could be more or less but I doubt very much anywhere near 1.96.
