What is Dividend Analytics?

Dividend Analytics Dividend Analytics provides dividend history, yield metrics, ex-date price behaviour analysis and implied dividend comparison for covered call and income strategy optimisation.

Compares the dividend implied by options pricing against the actual declared dividend to identify pricing anomalies.

Why this matters for your trading.

How professional options traders use Dividend Analytics to find edge.

Optimise Covered Call Timing

Know exactly when ex-dates fall and how much the stock typically drops. Time your covered call writes to capture the dividend while maximising premium income.

Spot Implied Dividend Anomalies

When the dividend implied by put-call parity differs significantly from the declared dividend, it creates an arbitrage-like opportunity for dividend-aware strategies.

Evaluate Dividend Capture Viability

The ex-date behaviour analysis shows whether the typical price drop is less than the dividend amount — the key test for dividend capture strategies.

Covered Call Writing

Time short calls to expire before ex-date to avoid assignment risk, or write through the ex-date if the premium compensates for the dividend.

Dividend Capture

Use ex-date behaviour data to assess whether the typical price drop is small enough to make a capture strategy profitable after transaction costs.

Common questions, answered.

The dividend implied by put-call parity — the dividend amount that options prices assume will be paid. When this differs from the declared dividend, it creates pricing anomalies.
Full dividend payment history is available for the full data history, typically back to 2007 for most large-cap stocks.
