Just caught up on some dividend action that went down earlier this month. So PayPal, Lam Research, and Old Dominion Freight Line all had ex-dividend dates around the same time, and the yields are honestly pretty modest. PayPal was paying out $0.14 quarterly which worked out to like 0.30% on their stock price at the time, Lam came in at $0.26 for about 0.11%, and Old Dominion hit $0.29 at around 0.14%. When these stocks went ex-dividend, you'd expect them to dip by those percentages, assuming everything else stayed flat. What's interesting is looking at the annualized yield picture if these dividends stick around. PayPal could be around 1.21% annually, Lam Research closer to 0.44%, and Old Dominion at 0.57%. Not exactly exciting yield numbers, but worth tracking if you're into dividend plays. The trading action that day was mixed anyway - PayPal was up like 1.5%, Lam actually dropped 2.2%, and Old Dominion climbed 2.4%. The real takeaway here is checking the dividend history on these companies to see if they're stable enough to keep paying. That's honestly the best way to figure out if these yields are worth chasing or if the payments are just gonna get cut later.
