Are investors eligible for dividend on ex-date? 

The ex-dividend date is the cutoff date set by a company to determine which shareholders are eligible to receive the next dividend payment. On the ex-dividend date, the stock price generally drops by the amount of the dividend. This reflects that new buyers won’t receive the upcoming dividend.
 
If investors buy the stock on or after the ex-dividend date, they will not receive the dividend. The seller of the stock will.
