Does stock that pays special dividend always go down by the amount of the dividend?
The ex-dividend date is the day after which all shares bought and sold no longer come attached with the right to be paid the most recently declared dividend. This is an important date for any company that has many stockholders, including those that trade on exchanges, as it makes reconciliation of who is to be paid the dividend easier. Prior to this date, the stock is said to be cum dividend ('with dividend'): existing holders of the stock and anyone who buys it will receive the dividend, whereas any holders selling the stock lose their right to the dividend. On and after this date the stock becomes ex dividend: existing holders of the stock will receive the dividend even if they now sell the stock, whereas anyone who now buys the stock now will not receive the dividend. It is relatively common for a stock's price to decrease on the ex-dividend date by an amount roughly equal to the dividend paid. This reflects the decrease in the company's assets resulting from the declaration of the dividend. However it must be emphasised that there is no direct link between the price and the dividend, this price movement is simply a result of market action. To sum up the date a dividend is paid is not the date a stock usually goes down but rather the date that the stock purchase no longer includes the dividend. This in no way is a guarentee a stock could be up considerably that day based on market conditions and a number of other things even with the downward pressure of no longer being able to receive that dividend.
