Weekly Dividends Update

Weekly Dividends Update
1:37

The Hollywood battle is intensifying after Paramount launched a hostile takeover of Warner Bros., following Netflix’s announcement that it plans to acquire one of the two businesses Warner Bros. intends to split into.

Netflix has indicated that it plans to present Warner Bros. investors with a cash-and-share offer, allowing shareholders to receive a combination of shares and cash. Paramount, by contrast, has tabled an all-cash offer, which would see WBD shareholders fully cashed out.

Should any of these deals succeed, Warner Bros. Discovery would be combined with one of the bidders, potentially creating scale benefits and improving long-term profitability.

From an income perspective, it is worth noting that neither WBD nor Netflix currently pays dividends. Paramount, however, does pay dividends on a quarterly basis and is preparing to distribute its upcoming cash dividend.

  • The last date to purchase shares that qualify for this payment is this week.
Beyond the Hollywood developments, this week also brings several notable corporate actions for investors could consider participating in.
  • Main Street Capital will be paying a second dividend for the month, following its regular monthly dividend payout. The last date to buy shares that qualify for this additional payment is also this week.
  • In addition, Paccar Inc. will be paying a special dividend, with the last date to trade (LDT) occurring this week.
  • Lastly, ServiceNow will be implementing a 5-for-1 stock split, which will result in investors receiving four additional shares for every share they currently own.
