Key Dividend Concepts
- Dividend Yield: Annual dividend ÷ stock price × 100. TTM (trailing 12 months) is the most common basis.
- Ex-Dividend Date: You must own the stock before this date to receive the dividend.
- Record Date: The date on which shareholders are registered to receive the dividend.
- DRIP: Reinvesting dividends into the same stock instead of taking cash. Maximizes long-term returns through compounding.
- Dividend Aristocrat: S&P 500 companies that have increased dividends for 25+ consecutive years.
FAQ
- Why are there multiple yield periods? TTM (12M) reflects actual dividends received; 3M/6M show recent trends; YTD is annualized from this year's payments. They differ because dividend amounts change over time.
- What does enabling DRIP do? It assumes dividends are reinvested each period, calculating compound returns and an estimated payback period.
- How are exchange rates applied? Bank of Korea (BOK) ECOS official mid-rates are fetched daily and auto-applied when converting between KRW and USD.
- How current is the data? Korea: SEIBro 15-minute incremental polling. U.S.: SEC EDGAR-based daily sync. Latest dividend announcements are reflected promptly.
