Cum dividendWith dividend; said of a stock whose buyer is eligible to receive a declared dividend. Stocks are usually "cum dividend" for trades made on or before the fifth trading day preceding the record date, when the register of eligible holders is closed for that dividend period. Antithesis of ex-dividend.Cum dividendWhen a share is said to be 'cum dividend', it means that it is offered for sale with an entitlement to the next dividend payment attached. This dividend will already have been declared (but not paid) by the company, so the market knows how much it is worth and the share price will reflect this.At some point shortly before payment of the dividend is actually due, the share will go 'ex dividend', meaning that it is being offered for sale without the dividend. If the current owner sells an 'ex div' share, he will keep the dividend payment. But again, the price of the share will reflect this - it will have dropped from its 'cum dividend' price.Similar MatchesEqualizing dividendEqualizing dividendSpecial dividends received by investors of a firm for income the investor lost because the firm altered the dividends payment schedule.

Dividend reinvestment planDividend reinvestment planA plan which allows private investors to reinvest cash dividends from their investments cheaply and easily back into the market, and so obtain the benefits of compounding.The Plan is managed by an administrator appointed by the company. On the dividend date, shareholders who join the plan are still paid the cash dividend, but the administrator then uses the cash to buy shares in the company on behalf of the shareholder. Any cash left over is sent to the shareholder in the normal way. Dealing commission on such purchases is usually 1%. Note that the Plan Administrator does not have to make the plan available for any and every dividend that the company pays. If it is not made available, shareholders will receive the cash dividend. Ex dividendEx dividendPurchase of shares without entitlement to current dividends. This entitlement remains with the seller of the shares. Ex dividendEx dividendThis literally means "without dividend." The buyer of shares when they are quoted ex-dividend is not entitled to receive a declared dividend. It is the interval between the record date and the payment date during which the stock trades without its dividend-the buyer of a stock selling ex-dividend does not receive the recently declared dividend.
