RE: Major share price rerate on even 10p dividend announcement17 May 2021 10:22
That’s my point.
SP would jump as IIs saw the chance to make a risk-free 10% - or more if they buy in early-, some shareholders would choose to sell at different target levels as the price rises, SP would rerate up to the record day, there would then be a further readjustment as some sell out having bagged the dividend, and finally it would settle at a price based on the expectation of future dividend income and behave like a ‘normal’ share.
So I would expect even a 10% special dividend to cause a major repricing.
