(Hargreaves Lansdown) That matters now because the next two weeks bring the mechanics that move high-yield stocks: dividend deadlines, buybacks and shifts in rate expectations. Traders tend to position early, then thin out risk once the market turns quiet. Imperial’s next key date is Feb. 19, when the shares go ex-dividend — the cutoff after which a buyer no longer qualifies for the upcoming payout.
