The Australian share market, as tracked by the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO), experienced a slight dip of 0.24% at the time of writing on Friday, settling at 9,294 points. Despite this minor downturn, the broader index has demonstrated resilience, posting a commendable 1.7% gain over the past week. This positive momentum has been fuelled by a wave of strong corporate earnings reports and the announcement of attractive dividend payouts from a number of listed companies.
As the financial calendar turns, a significant number of ASX-listed companies are gearing up to go ex-dividend in the coming week. For investors looking to capture these dividend payments, it’s crucial to remember that ownership of the shares must be secured before the ex-dividend date.
