Don't Rush to Buy Kraft Heinz Before Ex-Dividend Date

Kraft Heinz is set to go ex-dividend on November 28th, with a payment of $0.40 per share. The company reported a loss last year and its earnings have been declining in recent years, making the sustainability of the dividend uncertain. While the payout ratio is within the usual range, investors should be cautious about buying the stock before the ex-dividend date.
