Splits / dividends / spinoffs / M&A / rights / buybacks.
“The corporate actions panel tracks splits, dividends, spinoffs, mergers and buybacks, events that can distort a raw chart.”
Splits / dividends / spinoffs / M&A / rights / buybacks.
Each row: action type icon (DIV / SPLIT / SPIN / M&A / RIGHTS / BUYBACK / NAME-CHG), ex-date, record-date, payable-date. Forward-looking + last-30-days.
Buy on the ex-date or later = no dividend / no split adjustment (until the next event). Buy before ex-date = carry the action. Critical for options traders — early exercise risk on calls before ex-div date if the ITM call's time-value < dividend.
Stock-for-stock deals show the conversion ratio. Cash-and-stock show both legs. Annual cash deals (no stock) appear as cash tenders. Use for merger-arb spread calculation.
Type OMON. Heavy call selling ahead of an ex-div date = early-exercise risk priced into the chain. The combined view tells you whether options market-makers are anticipating the action.
