Ex-Dividend Reminder: Best Buy, PulteGroup and Intercontinental Exchange

Best Buy (BBY), PulteGroup (PHM) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) go ex-dividend on 12/16/2025; Best Buy will pay $0.95 on 1/6/2026 (≈1.27% of its recent $74.97 price), PulteGroup $0.26 on 1/6/2026 (≈0.20% impact) and ICE $0.48 on 12/31/2025 (≈0.29% impact), implying roughly equivalent near-term downward adjustments in share prices on the ex-date all else equal. Annualized yields based on the current payouts are about 5.07% for BBY, 0.82% for PHM and 1.18% for ICE, and the piece notes recent intraday moves (BBY +1.1%, PHM -0.3%, ICE +1.7%) while cautioning dividend levels can change with company profits and investors should review dividend histories for stability.

Analysis

Best Buy (BBY), PulteGroup (PHM) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) all go ex-dividend on 12/16/2025; BBY will pay $0.95 on 1/6/2026, PHM $0.26 on 1/6/2026 and ICE $0.48 on 12/31/2025. Based on BBY’s recent stock price of $74.97 the report calculates a mechanical ex-date adjustment of ~1.27% for BBY, with ~0.20% and ~0.29% implied adjustments for PHM and ICE respectively, all else equal. Annualized yields implied by the current run-rate are roughly 5.07% for BBY, 0.82% for PHM and 1.18% for ICE, making BBY the only material income candidate among the three. Intraday price moves cited in the article (BBY +1.1%, PHM -0.3%, ICE +1.7%) indicate short-term sentiment can swamp the mechanical ex-dividend effect, but the ex-date remains a predictable near-term supply/demand event. The piece emphasizes dividend variability and advises reviewing dividend histories for stability; that casts BBY’s higher yield as attractive only if its payout history and earnings support continuation. For investors focused on total return or yield sustainability, the ex-date is a near-term technical event rather than definitive evidence of long-term income quality.

Key Decisions for Investors

  • Avoid initiating fresh positions solely to capture these dividends immediately before 12/16/2025 since share prices are likely to adjust roughly by the dividend amounts on the ex-date
  • Consider BBY for income exposure given the ~5.07% implied yield but perform dividend-history and earnings checks to confirm payout sustainability before increasing allocation
