Since dividends and dividend payment announcements can influence stock price volatility, it is important to have accurate dividend information. If a company's dividend payments aren't consistent, investors may respond unpredictably, resulting in abnormal returns. Changes in dividend policy can affect the stock price, while dividend payment announcements can impact investor expectations. Investors may consider what it will mean for a stock if a company suspends, resumes, increases, decreases or leaves a dividend unchanged.
Along with dividends, having the latest key data on ETFs is important for institutional investors and risk-based traders. Our primary-sourced ETF calendar is a key tool for options and equity traders due to its wide coverage, multiple detailed components, and daily change alerts.
