Investor Considerations
For those holding positions in these names, the ex-dividend status serves as a reminder that the dividend value is no longer attached to the share price for new buyers. If you purchased these shares before today, you retain the right to the upcoming payment. If you buy today or later, you will not receive this specific distribution.
- ADES Holding Co.: Shareholders recorded before today are eligible for the dividend.
- Alamar Foods: Eligibility is restricted to those who held the stock through the previous close.
