ASX earnings season is rolling on, and with it, the ASX 200 shares that are announcing their latest dividend payments to shareholders. While this is a much anticipated biannual tradition, new dividend payments must also come with a nominated ex-dividend date.

Before a dividend is dished out, the dividend share must choose a preceding date that rules a line in the sand between the shareholders who are eligible to receive said dividend (and any attached franking credits) and those who miss out.

Put simply, to receive a dividend from an ASX 200 share, one must own that share as of the market close on the prior trading day. Anyone who buys the company's shares on or after the ex-dividend date leaves the right to receive the dividend in question with the seller.

That's why we normally see a dividend share fall in value when it trades ex-dividend.
