Understanding Ex-Dividend Dates Share transactions take 2 business days to settle at most brokerages.
If the ex-div date was October 26th (Tuesday), but you sold a portion of your shares on October 25th (Monday) and that share sale doesn't settle until October 27th - WOULD YOU NOT STILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE DIVIDEND?
Trying to settle an argument with a friend. Was anticipating that HWO share price would drop on October 25th given the 2 day lag.. but it largely held up until today!!
