AGNC Stock Dividend History - AGNC Investment Corp. (NasdaqGS) Stock

When a dividend is announced, the share price of the stock generally increases and remains elevated until after the dividend is paid, after which it drops by the amount of the dividend. When harvesting dividends (ie, buying a stock in the days before the dividend, capturing the dividend, and then selling), it is crucial to know how many days it takes for the share price to recover after the dividend is paid, because the stock must be held for this duration in order for the trade to remain profitable.

When harvesting dividends, the trader wants to find companies that have a history of recovering quickly, in order to maximize the number of dividends that can be captured in a trading session.

The average recovery days is also provided in our Dividend Calendar to help the trader select the upcoming trading opportunity with the best yield and fastest recovery.
