Dividends are usually paid quarterly, and their amount is determined by the company's board of directors. However, some companies decide on a different frequency or choose not to pay dividends. For example, Apple pays dividends quarterly, Disney semi-annually, and Amazon doesn't pay dividends at all.
An ex-dividend date (ex-date) determines whether the shareholder will receive the upcoming dividend or not. For example, if you own a stock before the ex-dividend date, you'll be entitled to the upcoming dividend, but if you buy a stock on or after this date, you will not be paid the next dividend payment. The ex-date usually comes one day before the record date.
Tracking the ex-dividend date may also be useful as the stock price usually falls after reaching it — this highlights the fact that new shareholders won't be entitled to that dividend payment.
