Did you know you can earn money just by holding a stock for a few days? Let’s break it down with a real example from one of our alerts!

Apartment Investment and Management Company just announced a special dividend of $0.60 per share. A special dividend is a one-time payment that companies make to shareholders, usually when they have excess cash or after a big financial event, like selling an asset. It’s a great way for companies to share profits with investors.

‍

Here’s how it works: AIV is currently trading at $8.2 per share. That $0.60 dividend equals about 7% of the stock price. To earn this, you simply need to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date and hold it until the record date which is in this case is January 14th. After that, the $0.60 per share is paid to you on January 31st.

‍

This 7% return is on top of the company’s regular dividend payments. No long-term holding is required—just buy the stock, collect the special dividend, and decide whether to sell or keep holding it.

‍

AIV is currently trading at $8.2, and with a solid revenue growth rate of 11.4%, it’s a perfect example of how special dividend plays can boost your income strategy.
