Supporting Shareholders through Changes: Monro Ensures Stable Distribution amidst Decreased Profits

Wednesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Monro (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MNRO#NASDAQ">MNRO</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Wednesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 28 cents per share. On Thursday, Monro will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 28 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
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, Thursday. Shareholders who own MNRO as of the end of Wednesday's session are eligible to receive the 28 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on December 19, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.

Benzinga's Top Ratings Upgrades, Downgrades For September 7, 2023

Price Target

Wells Fargo Initiates Coverage On Monro with Equal-Weight Rating, Announces Price Target of $35

Friday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Monro (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MNRO#NASDAQ">MNRO</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Thursday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 28 cents per share. On Monday, Monro will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 28 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
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, Monday. Shareholders who own MNRO as of the end of Friday's session are eligible to receive the 28 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on September 05, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
