Forthcoming dividend details: ex-dividend date, Ex Dividend Discussion

[nipper]

Dividends remain in vogue. In fact more companies have chosen to pay out a dividend for the year to June than in the previous reporting period to February.

Of the ASX 200 companies reporting for the 2018 year to June, around 90 per cent of firms elected to pay a dividend, up from the long-term average of 86 per cent, although down from the record levels of 91-92 per cent recorded in the 2015 and 2016 full-year results.

In other words, companies continue to seek a balance between rewarding shareholders and ploughing money back into their operations.

Over the period from July to October, around $28.5 billion will be paid to shareholders as dividends. In fact in the week ending September 28, dividends totalling $12.5 billion will be paid to shareholders.

A year ago dividend payouts were around $26 billion, so it is clear that shareholders continue to be well rewarded.

Since I found the list of all ASX-listed companies: http://www.asx.com.au/asx/research/listedCompanies.do
I've run the ex-div scanner over the lot, omitting only those stocks that haven't paid a dividend for over 3 years.

Falko,I have boq,wbc,anz,wes,on your list but I notice you do not include nab which in my view is probably the strongest bank stock for growth.

I have a heap of cba from a cost base of 47 bucks but they are at all time highs even though I think they have a lot left in them there is others with more appeal.

Why not throw a few amm for a growth.

I think we are seeing the consolidation of the market ready to move to another level,maybe 500 points higher over the next 6 months,time will tell,cheers mrbear

Hi to all dividend and growth investors,
As of this week the Asx 200 (XJO) has been showing signs of a breakout above the congestion around the 5200 area, or to put it another way a breakout above the resistance offered by the 50% recovery mark from the GFC ie 5000 to 5200.
This to my small way of thinking represents a significant milestone and gives me enough faith in a full recovery that I feel compelled to unlock some cash and try for some double digit earnings on investments rather than the poor rates paid at the moment on IBDs.
Below is a list of stocks I have under perusal in my persuit of the holy double digit return.
BOQ CBA DJS GUD IAG MTS MND QBE RFG SWM TTS TLS WBC ANZ WES WOW
As one can see some of these are a bit dicey but pay better dividends whilst others are safe but will not provide double digits in a fit.
My question to the good people out there is simply do they have any pet dividend payers (XJO or even top 300) they think should be included in any list of potential investments.

TIA

falko

better include this explanation here:

There is a difference between the usually quoted Franking %, which can be anything from unfranked to fully franked (0 to 100%), and the taxation rate %. For Australia, the latter is (currently) a fixed Corporate tax rate of 30%. That means, every $70 dividend you receive carries a $30 Franking Credit. Under certain conditions, the Tax Office will then add $100 (the sum of $70+$30) to your taxable income and credit you with $30 tax already paid.

Examples:

MGX's dividend is fully franked, as the profits from which it's paid have been taxed at the Company Tax rate of 30%.
Let's say you own 35,000 MGX, from which you receive $700 dividend. At the end of FY 2013/14, that will add $1,000 to our annual income, $300 of which will then be deemed to have been already paid as income tax.
If your marginal tax rate is less than 30%, the net effect will leave you even better off because the Taxman will add part or all of those $300 to your tax refund.

Some dividends are only partly franked; for example, CPU's recent 14c divi was franked at only 20% because only one fifth of its profit has been earned and taxed in Australia; the bulk came from Overseas and remained untaxed by our ATO. That does not mean the tax rate was 20%, but only 20% of the dividend (i.e. 2.8c) have been taxed at the 30% Corporate tax rate, which leaves you 1.2c as Franking Credit. So, if you had 5,000 CPU, paying $700 dividend, only $60 would be considered additional income and pre-paid tax.
