Ex-Dividend

Ex-refers to a period of time immediately before a dividend is paid, during which new buyers in the stock are not entitled to receive the dividend. A stock’s price is revised lower to reflect the dividend value on the first day of this period. On that day, a stock is said to “go ex-dividend”, which literally means “without dividend.”
