I'm trying to understand how ex-dividend works. Could someone explain the concept and how it affects shareholders who own stocks before and after the ex-dividend date?

The ex-dividend date, often referred to as the "ex-date," plays a crucial role in this process.

This rule ensures that only shareholders who are on the company's record as of the record date are entitled to the dividend.
