Benzinga's Top Ratings Upgrades, Downgrades For August 11, 2023

<p>Stephens &amp; Co.  analyst Andrew Terrell   downgrades Heritage Commerce (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTBK#NASDAQ">HTBK</a>) from Overweight to Equal-Weight and announces $10 price target.</p>


Stephens & Co. Downgrades Heritage Commerce to Equal-Weight, Announces $10 Price Target

<p>Tuesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next  dividend payout from <strong>Heritage Commerce</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTBK#NASDAQ">HTBK</a>). </p>
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
<p>The company announced on Thursday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 13 cents per share. On Wednesday, Heritage Commerce will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 13 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.</p>
<p>In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Wednesday. Shareholders who own HTBK as of the end of Tuesday's session are eligible to receive the 13 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. </p>
<p>According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on August 24, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way. </p>
