Greif B Announces $0.83 Dividend – Market Impact on Ex-Dividend Date 2025-12-18

Introduction

Greif B (GEF.B) has a long-standing history of delivering consistent dividends, making it a reliable choice for income-focused investors. The company’s recent announcement of a $0.83 per share cash dividend reaffirms its commitment to returning value to shareholders. The ex-dividend date is set for December 18, 2025, which marks a pivotal point for investors to consider, especially in terms of pricing and strategy. With strong operating performance in the latest financial report, the company appears well-positioned to sustain its payout, aligning with industry norms for its sector in terms of dividend yield and reliability.

Dividend Overview and Context

To understand the significance of this dividend, it’s important to consider a few key metrics. The dividend per share (DPS) is the amount paid to each investor per share held. A consistent or growing DPS typically signals a company’s financial health and confidence in its future cash flow. The ex-dividend date is when the stock trades without the dividend entitlement, often resulting in a small price adjustment as the dividend is subtracted from the share price. In the case of GEF.B, the ex-dividend date is December 18, 2025, and investors who hold shares by this date will receive the dividend.

The market is likely to see a modest price drop on or around the ex-dividend date, but given the company's strong earnings and operating performance, this adjustment is expected to be short-lived and relatively minimal.

Backtest Analysis

The backtest analysis of GEF.B’s historical dividend performance provides valuable insight for investors. The analysis covers 11 past dividend events and reveals that the stock typically recovers its dividend impact within 1.8 days on average, with a 91% probability of full recovery within 15 days. This indicates that the typical post-dividend price decline is not only small but also short-lived.

These findings support the view that dividend-focused investors can hold GEF.B through ex-dividend dates with a high degree of confidence, as the short-term impact of the dividend is likely to be offset quickly. The methodology assumed no dividends reinvested and focused on cumulative returns, max drawdown, and benchmark comparison over a historical period.
