The Goodman Group (ASX: GMG) share price has been in a funk over the past couple of months.

Despite finishing yesterday's session 0.96% higher to $18.86, shares in the integrated commercial and industrial property group haven't performed since May.

In fact, from the beginning of May, the Goodman Group share price is down 22%.

Goodman shares set to go ex-dividend

Today is the last day for ASX investors to secure Goodman's latest dividend.

Its shares are set to trade without rights (ex-dividend) on Wednesday.

It's worth noting though that historically when a company reaches its ex-dividend day, its shares tend to fall. This is because investors try to make a quick profit by selling their shares.

When will Goodman shareholders be paid?

For those who are eligible for the Goodman dividend, the payment of 15 cents per stapled security will be made on 25 August.

This is in line with the previous dividends that have been paid out since 2019.

The dividend is unfranked, which means shareholders won't receive any tax credits for the upcoming financial year.
