Dividend Chaos Cancellations and Suspensions

[Matt_ORATS]

The upheaval wrought by the corona virus has forced many companies to suspend or cancel dividends. ORATS dividend feed tracks these changes continually. To name a few: Ford ($F), Boeing ($BA), Mariott ($MAR), Delta Airlines ($DAL), Macy's ($M), Norstrom ($JWN) have suspended their dividends, and daily more companies are announcing dividend cuts, cancellations, deferments and suspensions. Dividends are an important input into options pricing models and options traders need a reliable method to capture the latest dividend updates.

Have the options already repriced or are markets still too jumbled to effect this?

The options have repriced but the bid-ask is so wide it is tough to get an accurate number.
