Gentex shares the same ex-dividend date, paying $0.12 per share with its payment arriving sooner on October 21. Both companies are returning cash to shareholders on the same qualifying date, giving dividend investors two data points from a single trading day.
Comcast's $1.17 billion distribution dwarfs Gentex's payout, reflecting the gap in size between a major cable and media conglomerate and a specialty auto-parts supplier. Investors tracking dividend flow into the market will find Comcast's payout the more consequential of the two this cycle.
