United Bancorp Raises Dividend From $0.165 To $0.175

Wednesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from United Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBCP#NASDAQ">UBCP</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Wednesday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 17 cents per share. On Thursday, United Bancorp will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 17 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 UBCP as of the end of Wednesday's session are eligible to receive the 17 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on December 20, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Important</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn&#39;t be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision.
In legal terms, an &quot;insider&quot; refers to any shareholder who owns at least 10% of a company. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down.
<h3>Important Transaction Codes</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates the insider may have been forced to sell shares in order to receive compensation that had been promised upon being hired by the company.
