NEUTRAL IMPACT
BlackRock ESG (NYSE:ECAT) will pay a monthly dividend of 15 cents per share, with the ex-dividend date being Thursday. The stock is expected to open lower by the dividend amount on the ex-dividend date.
The announcement of a dividend typically does not have a significant impact on the stock price beyond the mechanical adjustment lower by the amount of the dividend on the ex-dividend date. Investors who purchase before the ex-dividend date are entitled to the dividend, which is a short-term incentive, but the price adjustment is a standard practice and is already anticipated by the market.
