GLOSSARY

Declaration date

IN PLAIN ENGLISH

The day the board announces a dividend — the amount, and the dates that follow.

WHERE YOU MEET IT

Not shown in the app. The data feed supplies the ex-dividend and payment dates, not the announcement date.

Declared isn't banked. A board can, rarely, cancel a dividend before it's paid.
