Dividend investors should have a broad overview of stocks including their upcoming ex-dividend dates.

The ex-dividend date is the first date on which the new stock buyer wouldn’t receive the next dividend. If you'd like to receive the dividend, you need to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date. I made a little screen of the best yielding stocks with a higher capitalization that have their ex date on the next trading day.

In total, 64 stocks go ex-dividend - of which 18 yield more than 3 percent. The average yield amounts to 3.69%.
