• the market price for XYZ stock is and will be "fair", that is: equal to the present value of dividends, and that the future evolves exactly according to expectations;
• XYZ stock is traded "ex-dividend", i.e. the right to year t's dividend belongs to the owner of the share at the end of year t-1.
