bebe stores (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEBE#OTC">BEBE</a>) declared a dividend payable on June 10, 2021 to its shareholders as of May 10, 2021. It was also announced that shareholders of bebe stores's stock as of May 26, 2021 are entitled to the dividend. The stock is expected to become ex-dividend 1 business day(s) before the record date. The ex-dividend date for bebe stores will be on May 25, 2021. The company's current dividend payout is at $0.06. That equates to a dividend yield of 4.69% at current price levels. 
<h2>The Significance Of An Ex-Dividend Date</h2>
Ex-dividend dates are when company shares stop trading with their current dividend payouts in preparation for those companies to announce new ones. Usually, a company's ex-dividend date falls one business day before its record date. Investors should keep this in mind when purchasing stocks because buying them on or after ex-dividend dates does not qualify them to receive the declared payment. Newly declared dividends go to shareholders who have owned that stock before the ex-dividend date. Most ex-dividend dates operate on a quarterly basis. 
<h2>Understanding bebe stores's Dividend History</h2>
Over the past year, bebe stores has experienced no change regarding its dividend payouts and a downward trend regarding its yields. Last year on May 27, 2020 the company's payout was $0.06, which has returned to its value today. bebe stores's dividend yield last year was 5.99%, which has since decreased by 1.3%. 
Companies use dividend yields in different strategic ways. Some companies may opt to not give yields altogether to reinvest in themselves. Other companies may opt to increase or decrease their yield amounts to control how their shares circulate throughout the stock market.

ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Franchise Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/FRG#NASDAQ">FRG</a>) (&ldquo;Franchise Group&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) today announced it has refranchised 47 Buddy&rsquo;s locations to bebe stores, inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/BEBE#OTC">BEBE</a>) (&ldquo;bebe&rdquo;) for $35 million. The agreement also includes a planned development schedule for bebe to open 20 new Buddy&rsquo;s locations.
Brian Kahn, CEO of Franchise Group stated, &ldquo;We are pleased to partner with the founder and principals of bebe to grow the Buddy&rsquo;s business. This transaction is a good example of how Franchise Group can use refranchising company-owned units to simultaneously de-lever its balance sheet and create growth for its brands.&rdquo;
The Company intends to use the proceeds of this transaction to repay $35 million of its term loan. The impact of the refranchising agreement will reduce the Company&rsquo;s annual revenue by approximately $35 million and Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $6 million, excluding any future impact from the franchisee&rsquo;s new store openings.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Bebe stores Announces Intention to Voluntarily Delist from NASDAQ and Begin Trading on OTCQB

Bebe Stores Shares Halted On News Dissemination

Do you think a return of 56% over a period of less than two years is pretty good? How about 115%? Those are the actual returns of stocks that you could have bought less than two years ago that were selling for less than the cash per share.

<h3>
	What is cash per share?</h3>
In simple terms, cash per share is the amount of cash the company has sitting in the banks divided by the number of shares. So if the company has little or no debt, and you can buy the stock below the amount of cash per share, you are getting a bargain. If the company went out of business today and all the inventory and equipment and all other assets were totally worthless, you would still make a profit because the cash you would receive for each share would exceed the price you paid.

<h3>
	Real Life Examples of Stocks that were Selling Below Cash</h3>
Let&#39;s get back to those real life examples mentioned in the first paragraph of this article. MEI Pharma (MEIP) is an oncology company focused on the clinical development of therapeutics to treat cancer. Back in November of 2015, the stock was selling for 1.64, yet it had cash per share of 1.70, providing a discount to investors of 3.5% to the cash. Since that time, the stock has risen to 2.57, a gain of 56.71%. Not a bad investment for less than a couple years. Then there is Support.com (SPRT), a provider of cloud-based software and services. In November 2015, it was trading at 1.09, with cash per share of 1.25, a 12.8% discount to cash. The stock is now trading for 2.35, a spectacular gain of 115.6%.

<h3>
	But what about companies that have a reverse split?</h3>
This is a great question. Let&#39;s look at bebe (BEBE), the women&#39;s clothing company, over the same time frame as the previously mentioned stocks. It was trading at a 22.6% discount to cash. Back then, the stock was trading at 0.41 per share, but the company had a 10 for 1 reverse split in December of 2016.
	What this meant was that for every 10 shares that you own prior to the split, you would now only have one share. So the effective cost basis of the original purchase price would be 4.10. The stock is now at 5.48, giving investors a 33.66% return. (To clarify this, assume you buy 1,000 shares at 41 cents, for a total cost of $410. The reverse split takes place, you now only have 100 shares at 5.48 or $548 total value, a gain of over 33%.)

<h3>
	Does the stock need to trade at a huge discount to make money?</h3>
Absolutely not. Here is a great example. GenCorp Industries (GENC) traded at a 0.1% discount to cash, actually one penny below the cash per share. The stock has gone from 10.18 to 17.95 a share, a very decent gain. But that&#39;s not all. The stock declared a 3 for 2 stock split (what I call a &quot;good stock split&quot;) in July of 2016, which was effectively a 50% stock dividend. In other words, one and a half shares for every one share that you own. So the true gain on this stock from November 2015 is an incredible 76.33%.

<h3>
	Risks of&nbsp;Buying Below Cash Stocks</h3>
<ul>
<li>
		Possibility that the company is what we used to call the &quot;walking dead&quot; and what we now call &quot;zombies&quot;. These are companies that will continue to stumble along, never really grow but never go out of business, and they&#39;ll just hold on to all their cash</li>
<li>
		Possibility that management may spend the company&#39;s cash like a drunken sailor.</li>
<li>
		For biotech companies, the possibility that they will burn all their cash before they come out with an FDA approved drug</li>
</ul>
<h3>
	Advantages of Buying Below Cash Stocks</h3>
<ul>
<li>
		Provides a downside cushion for the stock price</li>
<li>
		In the event of bankruptcy or liquidation, excellent chance of getting back more money than your investment</li>
<li>
		Provides the company with a solid balance sheet -they can easily make payroll, buy new equipment, make acquisitions, without having to borrow</li>
</ul>
<h3>
	But the stock market is trading at lofty levels</h3>
Are there still stocks that can be purchased for less than cash per share? Yes, there are actually over 20 different companies with stock prices below cash per share with little or no debt. Here is just one example. The Rubicon Project (RUBI), is a Los Angeles based technology and software company. The stock recently closed at 3.70 per share, but has cash per share of 6.47, providing a discount to cash of 42.81%.
	The company is currently generating negative earnings, but has a very favorable price to sales ratio of 0.78 (a number below 1 is good, a number above 2 is not so good), and an excellent price to book of 0.65. Revenues have increased every year since 2012 and for the latest fiscal year, revenues jumped by about 12%. The company is debt free.

<h3>
	So what are some other companies selling below cash?</h3>
