Bank of the Philippine Islands #BPI

BPI Daily Chart
Dividend Capture Strategy

  • Declaration date: Jun 15, 2016
  • Ex-div date: Jun 24, 2016
  • Rate: Php0.90/share

Given you have Php 100,000 to invest:

Bought at closing price on declaration date: 96.60
Number of shares: 1,000
Sold before ex-div date based on closing price: 97.30
Gain: Php-358.50 (-0.37%)

Cash dividend less 10% withholding tax: Php810

Total profit: Php451.50


Buying on declaration date and selling before the ex-div date doesn't always guarantee a profit but as long as the price is moving uptrend and showing no sign of reversal you may hold on to it until it hits your target price.
