Even more attractive can be a dividend from Orlen. Investors will go to PLN 6.97 billion, i.e. PLN 6 per share, and the dividend rate at the current exchange rate reaches 7.1%. The dividend day in the case of the Płock group is August 14, and the papers with the right to pay off should be purchased at the latest on August 12. The payment will take place on September 1.
Dividend aristocrat, a dividend debutant
As for WIG20 companies, this month you can also catch a dividend from Kęty, which have been dividing profits continuously since 2001 and belong to dividend aristocrats on our market. This year, the payment amount will be PLN 55.50 per share (a total of PLN 544.8 million), which translates into a dividend foot of 6.3%. Dividend day was designated on August 20, and the payment will be paid in two installments – September 3 (PLN 16.70 per share) and November 5 (PLN 38.80 per share).
August is a period of dividend harvest, because it falls on a dividend day also for about ten companies outside the main index, such as Atrem, Rawlplug, Stalprofil, Agora or Apator. Interestingly, the dividend will also pay out Queuouslyi.e. one of this year's debutants on the NewConnect market, where sharing profits with shareholders is rather a deviation from the rule.
Virtual dividends also matter
Dividends are important for investor portfolios not only in the real market, but also in our competition Holidays on the stock exchange, where the transactions are made on the virtual dance floor, Fighting for prizes Without risking real money.
In our game you can invest in 140 companies from WIG20, mWIG40 and sWIG80 indexes (as well as in ETF instruments). As we checked, in the period when a competition is taking place, i.e. from July 14 to August 28, The dividend could or will be scooped from 11 companies from this group.
And so, so far you could catch a dividend from companies: Neuca, Enea, Wirtualna Polska Holding, TEXT, WSE, MO-BRUK (all with mWIG40) and Mercator (SWIG80). In August, apart from the aforementioned three from WIG20: PKO BP, Orlen and Kęty, you can still get the right to dividend from Apator (SWIG80).
Injection for wallets at the end of the competition
On the real market, the period between the day of establishing the right to dividend and the payday day varies and ranges from several days to even several months (for example, in Mo-Bruk, the dividend day was July 30, but the payment will not take place only on October 30). Whereas In the competition holidays on the stock exchange, a simplified principle was adopted that all dividends will be added to the participants' accounts at the end of the competition – What with attractive amounts of dividends from some companies can even allow considerable promotion in the final ranking.
It is worth mentioning here that on the day on which the shares are listed for the first time without a dividend, there is usually a decrease in the company's quotation of this company. In theory, the investor goes to zero, because the profit from dividend balances with a loss of having shares. The practice shows that the course often makes up for a dividend gap, especially when it comes to companies that increase profits for a long time and pay repeatable dividends – but it does not have to be a rule.
This is just one of the issues for which it is reasonable to ask whether it is worth being interested in dividend companies and not to invest. We asked them to Sebastian Zapora, an expert of the BOŚ Brokerage House.
