Choi Yu-jun, a researcher at Shinhan Investment & Securities, analyzed, “The KOSPI index closed higher for two consecutive days despite the impact of ex-dividends. As the dividend date was dispersed and interim dividends increased, the impact of ex-dividends was not significant and the transfer tax issue for major shareholders was resolved.”
