First Trust Enhanced's Ex-Dividend Date Is Friday, Here's What You Need To Know

Thursday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from First Trust Enhanced (NYSE:FFA).

What's Happening

The company announced on Monday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 31.5 cents per share. On Friday, First Trust Enhanced will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 31.5 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, Friday. Shareholders who own FFA as of the end of Thursday's session are eligible to receive the 31.5 cents dividend payout for every share that they own.

According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on September 29, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
