What is Ex- Dividend?

It is important for an investor to know whether a stock they have planned on purchasing has an ex-dividend status, because in case it does, the dividend would be paid out to the seller. The stockholder will be awarded payment on the ex-dividend date, which means that investors have to wait for the next dividend cycle to receive their first dividend pay-out from the Company.
