On July 1, 2021, CALAMOS CONVERTIBLE (NASDAQ:CHI) declared a dividend payable on July 20, 2021 to its shareholders. CALAMOS CONVERTIBLE also announced that shareholders on the company's books on or before July 13, 2021 are entitled to the dividend. The stock will then go ex-dividend 1 business day(s) before the record date. CALAMOS CONVERTIBLE, whose current dividend payout is $0.1, has an ex-dividend date set at July 12, 2021. The payout equates to a dividend yield of 7.51% at current price levels.
Ex-dividend dates signal when company shares cease to trade with their current dividend payouts. There is a small intermission period before companies announce new dividends. Usually, a company's ex-dividend date falls one business day before its record date. Investors should keep this in mind when purchasing stocks because buying them on or after ex-dividend dates does not qualify them to receive the declared payment. Newly declared dividends go to shareholders who have owned that stock before the ex-dividend date. Most ex-dividend dates operate on a quarterly basis.
Over the past year, CALAMOS CONVERTIBLE has experienced no change regarding its dividend payouts and a downward trend regarding its yields. Last year on March 11, 2021 the company's payout was $0.1, which has returned to its value today. CALAMOS CONVERTIBLE's dividend yield last year was 7.93%, which has since decreased by 0.42%.
Companies use dividend yields in different strategic ways. Some companies may opt to not give yields altogether to reinvest in themselves. Other companies may opt to increase or decrease their yield amounts to control how their shares circulate throughout the stock market.
