Upcoming Dividend Run For NSA? | U.S. Markets

This morning a “Potential Dividend Run Alert” went out for Nationwide Storage Associates Belief (NYSE: NSA), at our DividendChannel.com Dividend Alerts service (a free e mail alerts function). Let us take a look at the state of affairs in larger element, lets?

First of all, what’s a “Dividend Run” anyway? That is an fascinating idea which we first discovered about at a previous ValueForum convention. And to best clarify the idea, we need to start out with the anticipated conduct of a stock on its ex-dividend date.

For anybody unfamiliar with the time period, the ex-dividend date marks the trading day when any purchaser of the stock is no longer entitled to the referenced dividend — in different phrases, to be eligible to obtain the dividend in query, one would have needed to buy their shares earlier than the ex-dividend date.

All else equal, the stock price could be anticipated to drop by the dividend quantity on that ex-date (bear in mind, that is “all else equal” and naturally different elements will drive shares larger/decrease on any given day). However give it some thought: if a purchaser is entitled to a 0.57 dividend earlier than ex-date, however no longer entitled to that quantity on or after ex-date, then this drop makes excellent sense! As a result of if the shares did not drop by that very same 0.57 the subsequent day, then successfully, patrons would successfully be paying 0.57 more for a similar share of stock.

However now take into consideration this: if a stock is predicted to drop by the dividend quantity (all else equal) on ex-date, then in flip, should not that stock be anticipated to rise someday forward of a dividend? In spite of everything, if a dividend-paying stock did not ever rise and solely fell on each ex-date, then ultimately after enough dividend funds these shares would have fallen to zero. And that would not make any sense for a company regularly incomes money and paying dividends. So certainly, “sometime” earlier than a given dividend, there must be kind of a built-in “pressure” for a stock to regularly rise in expectation of that subsequent money dividend… in different phrases: stress for the stock to have a potential Dividend Run.

And see we put the phrase “sometime” in quotes in that final sentence, as a result of there are differing views amongst completely different dividend traders about timeframe with regards to capturing Dividend Run results. Some prefer to invest (after which additionally to promote) on particular goal dates; others prefer to make use of some kind of greenback value averaging. Some prefer to invest shortly earlier than ex-div, maintain for the dividend, after which promote on or after ex-date (having truly capturing the dividend / acquired the income). Others prefer to promote the day earlier than ex-date (the final doable day the place the client of the shares will nonetheless be “paying for” the upcoming dividend) with the thought to attempt to maximize capital gain. On this capital-gain-focused state of affairs, one common timeframe we have seen mentioned, is to buy about two weeks (ten trading days) previous to the focused sale date.

For instance, contemplate the 0.56/share NSA dividend that went “ex-dividend” on 09/13/24. On the prior trading day — the final day the place a vendor is aware of that the client of their shares shall be anticipating that dividend quantity — shares of NSA closed at 47.69. And two weeks (ten trading days) previous to that, on 08/28/24, shares closed at a price of 46.05. That signifies that within the remaining two-week run-up to the 0.56 dividend, NSA gained 1.64 in price.

Trying back on the final 4 dividends paid by NSA, this strategy would have captured a capital gain in extra of the dividend 3 out of 4 instances, with a “Divvy Run” complete of +6.91 in capital features. By the way, that exceeds the sum complete dividend quantities throughout these final 4 dividends, of 2.25. Here is the info:
