Universal Health RI Ex-Dividend Date Explained

To determine whether or not an investor can expect to receive the Universal Health RI dividend payment on Mar 31, 2023, they’ll need to look at two important dates – the “record date” or “date of record” and the “ex-dividend date” or “ex-date.” When a company declares a dividend, it sets a record date when you must be on the company’s books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. Once the company sets the record date, the ex-date is set based on stock exchange rules and other factors. The ex-dividend date for stocks is usually set one business day before the record date. If an investor buys UHT stock on Mar 17, 2023 or after, they will not receive the next dividend payment on Mar 31, 2023. Instead, the seller will receive the dividend. If the investor purchases or owns Universal Health RI stock today, before the ex-dividend date of Mar 17, 2023, they will get the dividend payment of $0.715 per share on Mar 31, 2023.
