The value of the stock can go down based on the total value of the dividend being paid out. This happens every time a dividend is paid, but it is not something that should make a huge impact. The Brunswick Corporation stock went down by 19 cents in November 2017 following that 19 cent dividend that was paid. Fortunately, that decline was extremely minimal as the stock was trading at around $50 at the time. The decline might be higher in value when the stock is cheaper and the dividend is higher. In most cases, the decline in a stock’s value should not be all that significant unless the company dividends are large.
