Wednesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Duke Energy (NYSE:DUK).
What's Happening
The company announced on Thursday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of $0.985 per share. On Thursday, Duke Energy will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open $0.985 lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Thursday. Shareholders who own DUK as of the end of Wednesday's session are eligible to receive the $0.985 dividend payout for every share that they own.
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on June 16, 2022. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
