स्पष्टीकरण
Cum dividend is the status of a security when a company is preparing to pay out a dividend at a later date. The seller of a stock cum dividend is selling both the right to the share and the right to the next dividend distribution.
The ex-dividend date of a stock is the day on which the stock begins trading without the subsequent dividend value.
