<h3><span class="strongInContent"> Avoid the sharp post-ex-dividend drop! Smart rules for when to buy</span></h3>
<p> To receive shareholder benefits, you must be a shareholder of the company as of the record date (the date on which rights are granted).For the stocks featured here, <span class="strongInContent">the</span> record <span class="strongInContent">date for [Askul (2678)] is November 20</span>, while for the other stocks it is the end of November (November 30). For Askul, the ex-dividend date is Wednesday, November 18, ’26,while the others must be purchased by Thursday, November 26 of the same year.</p>
<p> Note that the stock price of shareholder benefit-eligible stocks tends to rise leading up to the last trading day with rights (two business days before the record date), and on the following business day (the ex-rights date), the stock price tends to fall by an amount equivalent to the value of the shareholder benefits or dividends. Therefore, it is generally advisable to avoid buying immediately before the last trading day with rights or selling immediately after the ex-rights date.If you are targeting November shareholder benefits, you should aim to purchase the shares between late October and early November. If you plan to hold the shares long-term, one strategy is to buy after the price has fallen following the ex-dividend date, with the aim of receiving future shareholder benefits and dividends.</p>
