I am short 1 CLX Put 115.00 2022-10-21, as of today 11 days till expiration. Is it correct that CLX will announce the quarterly dividend at earnings reporting? Is it correct that ex-dividend date will be 2022-10-26? If i get assigned at expiration will I receive the dividend? If I do not get dividend I would not like to hold the option through earnings reporting.
1-Dividend has been announced for this quarter ($1.18). 2-Ex div= Oct 25. Record date = Oct 26. 3-If assigned Oct 21 (position in account Oct 24), yes you will receive dividend if you hold until Oct. 26th.
