Stocks Going Ex Dividend in March 2023

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 during bear markets, you may want to consider avoiding this strategy. 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 on or after the ex date.

The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks.

WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable 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. Some of the stocks have yields over 2%.

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.

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.

What Warren Buffett is Dumping and Buying

by Fred Fuld III

You know, if you are thinking of investing in Apple (AAPL) stock, you just might want to consider buying shares of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-A) (BRK-B) stock, as 40% of the Berkshire portfolio is made up of Apple.

This way, if Apple does well, you participate through Berkshire, and if it doesn’t, at least you have diversification though Berkshire’s ownership of over 45 other stocks.

So let’s look at the rest of Buffett’s portfolio. In the first quarter of the year, he sold out of two companies, Suncor Energy (SU) and Synchrony Financial (SYF).

Warren Buffett has been reducing positions in a couple bank stocks, US Bancorp (USB) and Wells Fargo (WFC). He has also been lightening up on General Motors (GM), Chevron (CVX), Abbvie (ABBV), Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY), Merck (MRK), Stoneco (STNE), Axalta Coating (AXTA), Sirius XM Radio (SIRI), and Liberty Global (LBTYA).

He hasn’t been buying much, but he has been adding to his positions in Verizon (VZ), buying over 12 million additional shares. He also added 17.5 million shares to his Kroger (KR) position, and bought more Restoration Hardware (RH) and Marsh & McLellan (MMC).

There is one brand new stock in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio., the insurance company Aon (AON). The stock has a trailing price to earnings ratio of 27.5 and a forward P/E of 22.5. It pays a yield of 0.81%.
