Dividend Cuts Implied By The Options Market

Today's dividend cuts implied by the options markets includes two builders, Lennar & Pulte. Royal Caribbean Cruises is still expected to cut. Ross Stores and the Retail SPDR expect lower dividends too.

 

Great summary, thanks for posting.

 

Very useful. Is this something available from a commercial service or is it your own analysis?

 

Thanks Sig
This is our analysis. We calculate an implied dividend and present the outliers in this report.
This is part of an email that goes out to our report subscribers. I wonder if I made a special for ET members daily and gave it free weekly if that would be interesting.

 

Def some interest here

 

I would certainly be interested!

 

Calculate the implied dividend based on the prices of the options? how can one separate the difference in the price increase or decrease where the reason is dividend cut versus other forces such as supply/demand, announcement etc etc

 

Look at Black Scholes Model, it has an Input for Dividend. Solve for Dividend = This Report. @Orats do you calculate with the average Dividend for the Quarter of the past X Quarters to establish a Benchmark?

 

Thanks Atikon

Here's today's list:
