Wednesday Is Your Last Chance To Buy Wells Fargo Before The Dividend Payout

Wednesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC).

What's Happening

The company announced on Tuesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share. On Thursday, Wells Fargo will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open $0.25 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 WFC as of the end of Wednesday's session are eligible to receive the $0.25 dividend payout for every share that they own.

According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on March 01, 2022. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
