Kayne Anderson Energy'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 Kayne Anderson Energy (NYSE:KYN).

What's Happening

The company announced on Wednesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 21 cents per share. On Friday, Kayne Anderson Energy will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 21 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 KYN as of the end of Thursday's session are eligible to receive the 21 cents dividend payout for every share that they own.

According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on October 23, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
