description: "$UOB(U11.SG)announced a 1H 2026 interim dividend of S$0.88 per share, with the ex-dividend date on 17 August 2026.Seeing the upcoming dividend and UOB's solid business performance, I thought the share price around S$41.70 offered an attractive opportunity to enter. My thinking was that UOB could provide both dividend income and potential long-term capital appreciation.I decided to buy UOB shares at S$41.70 on 13 August 2026.The timing was just before the 17 August ex-dividend date, so I was also eligible for the S$0.88 interim dividend, assuming I met the relevant entitlement requirements.After the ex-dividend date, the share price declined, closing at S$41.33 on 15 Sep, compared with my purchase price of S$41.70.This trade reinforced an important lesson for me: I shouldn't focus too much on the dividend or try to time my purchase just before the ex-dividend date.Even though the dividend is attractive, the share price can adjust after the stock goes ex-dividend, so receiving the dividend does not automatically mean I have made a profit."

- **NewBie_Ttade · 2026-09-16T03:42:52.000Z · 👍 1**: I bought OCBC before its April dividend payout to collect dividends, and seeing it keep rising, I decided to keep adding positions up to 28. So luck plays a big part in many stocks.

- **KopiO · 2026-09-16T02:19:30.000Z · 👍 2**: the drop on ex date is mechanical and roughly the size of the payout, the real edge locally is that there is no withholding tax on it rather than the timing.
