How does dividend payout work? For example I have 100 S51 shares in my CDP, and the final dividend was announced at 0.02 cents, why the payout is only $1?

Thank you, I'm a beginner to investments at the moment

This is how to calculate your dividend amount

Dividend per share * total shares held before XD

So if you had 100 shares of S51 and the dividend announced is 0.01 then you will receive 100 * 0.01 = $1

Someone told me if i purchase the stock shares before ex dividend date but after announcement of dividend per share, i will not be entitled to the dividend. Is that true?

My question is regarding the dividends of a stock. A). Dividend payout - Let’s say stock A has a dividend period twice a year; usually is this payout fixed or usually they will announce?

If I buy shares today when the ex date for dividend payout is tomorrow, would i still receive the dividend payout even though it takes a few days to process the transaction?
