Corporate Events Alerts

Stock splits, dividends, and corporate actions

Tickerbot tracks stock splits, reverse splits, dividend payments, dividend hikes, dividend cuts, and buyback announcements. Get notified when corporate actions happen on your watchlist — not after the stock has already reacted.

Splits, dividends, and shareholder-friendly actions

From forward stock splits to dividend aristocrats to buyback programs — all automated.

Stock split announcements (forward and reverse)

Stock splits (forward splits like 3-for-1 or 10-for-1) are often positive catalysts. Reverse splits (1-for-10) are usually warning signs. Tickerbot tracks all historical splits and can alert you on new split announcements, scoped to your watchlist or market cap bands.

Example
Any stock on my watchlist announces a forward stock split
NVDA announced a 10-for-1 forward stock split, effective June 10.

Dividend hikes (the income investor's signal)

Companies that increase their dividend payment are signaling confidence in future cash flows. Tickerbot tracks all historical dividend payments and can alert you when a company raises its dividend by a percentage you specify.

Example
Companies that increased their dividend by 10% or more in the last quarter
AAPL raised dividend 7%, from $0.24 to $0.26 per share.

Dividend cut warnings (the risk alert)

Dividend cuts are usually the first sign of financial distress. Tickerbot can alert you when any stock you hold reduces or suspends its dividend — giving you time to reassess the position before the broader market reacts.

Example
Any stock I hold cuts or suspends its dividend
XYZ suspended quarterly dividend. Previous: $0.50/share.

Dividend yield screening (the income filter)

Tickerbot tracks dividend yield for all dividend-paying stocks. You can set alerts for when stocks on your watchlist cross into a yield band you specify, or combine yield with payout ratio to find sustainable income.

Example
Stocks with dividend yield above 4% and payout ratio below 60%
VZ yield 4.8%, payout ratio 52%. Sustainable income.

Buyback announcements (shareholder return programs)

Share buyback programs signal management confidence and reduce share count, increasing EPS. Tickerbot can alert you when companies announce buyback programs above a dollar threshold you set.

Example
Companies announcing share repurchase programs above $1 billion
AAPL announced $90B buyback program. Stock +2% on the news.

Dividend aristocrats tracking (the quality compounders)

Dividend aristocrats are companies that have raised their dividend for 25+ consecutive years. Tickerbot can track dividend growth streaks and alert you when aristocrats drop into your valuation buy zone.

Example
Dividend aristocrats with a P/E below 20 and yield above 3%
JNJ P/E 18.2, yield 3.4%. 60 years of dividend growth.
