Best Answer

The dividend is very attractive to potential investors, and if more people are buying the stock the price will go up. Also, on the days leading towards the ex-dividend date (the day you must own the stock to collect the dividend) many investors and institutions will buy up the stock to make a quick profit from the dividend which makes the share price skyrocket.

What happens to the price of a bond when a coupon is announced and to the price of a stock when dividend is announced.Why and how.Please provide suitable examples?

Generally, the price of a stock will rise around the same amount as the announced dividend. This may happen within a trading day or over a few days, because buyers are guaranteed a known return on their investment (the dividend). There is an element of risk involved in buying a share simply because it is about to go ex-dividend. A share's price will usually drop by the amount of the dividend very quickly after the ex-dividend date because new buyers won't be eligible for the dividend. Therefore, you could be holding a share that is worth less than what you paid for it and you will have to hold onto it for a while. But if the company's financials are solid, it is not unusual for the price to actually continue to rise. It depends a great deal on where the dividends are coming from, genuine profit or borrowings.
