NEUTRAL IMPACT
Great Southern Bancorp's stock price is expected to open lower on Friday due to the dividend payout. However, the dividend may attract more investors to buy the stock before Thursday's session ends.
The announcement of a dividend payout often leads to a short-term increase in stock price as investors buy in to be eligible for the dividend. However, the stock price typically drops on the ex-dividend date by an amount roughly equal to the dividend paid. This is because the company's assets decrease by the amount of the dividend payout. In this case, GSBC's stock price is expected to open lower on Friday, the ex-dividend date. However, the announcement may attract more investors to buy the stock before Thursday's session ends.
