NEGATIVE IMPACT
Evergy's stock price is expected to open lower on the ex-dividend date due to the dividend payout. However, this is a normal occurrence and does not reflect negatively on the company's performance.
When a company announces a dividend, the stock price typically decreases by approximately the amount of the dividend on the ex-dividend date. This is because new buyers of the stock will not receive the dividend. However, this is a standard market mechanism and does not indicate any underlying issue with the company.
