Friday Is Your Last Chance To Buy Universal Health Realty Before The Dividend Payout

Friday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Universal Health Realty (NYSE:UHT).

What's Happening

The company announced on Wednesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 72 cents per share. On Monday, Universal Health Realty will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 72 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 UHT as of the end of Friday's session are eligible to receive the 72 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.
