Dividend Stocks In October 2022

Why are the companies announcing dividends right now?

Dividends are usually paid out to shareholders when the company reports its earnings at the end of a quarter, half year or financial year. October is a period when many companies release their earnings for the preceding quarter and half year ending on 30th September 2022 (since the financial year starts on 1st April). Dividends are therefore paid out in quick succession. 

Lately, many companies have started declaring their record dates – i.e. the date when they make their dividend payouts. Therefore, a lot of stocks will soon be trading ex-dividend i.e. their value will not be determined by the next dividend that they are going to provide. 

Let us take a look at some of the stocks that are about to pay out their dividends soon.
