Calamos L/S Equity's Ex-Dividend Date Is Monday, Here's What You Need To Know
Friday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Calamos L/S Equity (NASDAQ:CPZ).
What's Happening
The company announced on Friday that it would pay shareholders a monthly dividend of 14 cents per share. On Monday, Calamos L/S Equity will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 14 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Monday. Shareholders who own CPZ as of the end of Friday's session are eligible to receive the 14 cents dividend payout for every share that they own.
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on December 18, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
