How to Calculate Stock Price After Dividend

By Motley Fool Staff – Updated Apr 23, 2025 at 12:29PM

Key Points

  • Stock value drops by paid dividend amount, which is more visible in high-dividend companies like REITs.
  • Company value equals future earnings plus non-operational assets with excess cash included.
  • On the ex-dividend date, the stock price falls by the dividend's value, affecting buyer's equity.
