COMPARE STOCKS WITH DIVIDEND REINVESTED HOW TO

Remember, 'past performance is no guarantee of future results'! Where we register a dividend and investment on the same day, the investment goes in at the open price but (as you'd expect), it doesn't factor into the dividend amount. When you choose to model periodic investments, the tool in shorthand invests every 1, 7, 30, or 365 days, respectively. All other prices in the tool, such as the final portfolio value and daily updates, are based on close price. Where the tool sees a dividend, it invests at the daily open price. The tool attempts to time dividends based upon the ex-dividend date of stocks in our database. How do the periodic stock investments work? Note – if you are on desktop – you can drag over the graph to see the value of the portfolio on any day.
