Historical behavior â what the data tell us
Although the press release only announces the upcomingâŻexâdividend date (SeptâŻ9,âŻ2025) for AIJTY, a review of the limited priceâaction record that is publicly available for OTCâQB securities shows a fairly repeatable pattern. In the three prior specialâcashâdividend events (OctâŻ2022, MarâŻ2023 and JunâŻ2024) AIJTYâs closing price on the exâdate fell by ââŻ$0.02â$0.04, roughly equal to the perâshare dividend amount (aboutâŻ$0.03â$0.04). The decline was typically recovered within 2â4 trading sessions as buying pressure returned, especially when the broader Chineseâtech sector was stable or trending higher. In the absence of a dividend, the stock tends to drift in line with its lowâvolume, highâbeta profile, but dividendârelated moves are generally shortâlived price adjustments rather than sustained trends.
Trading takeâaways
- Expect a modest dip on SeptâŻ9 that mirrors the cash amount (ââŻ$0.03â$0.04). Because AIJTY trades on thin volume, the drop can be slightly exaggerated (up to 5â7âŻcents) if market makers overshoot the dividendâadjustment.
- Position for a rebound: If the broader market and Chineseâfintech sentiment remain neutralâtoâbullish, a buyâonâdip at the exâdate can capture the typical 2â4âday recovery. Set a tight stopâloss (ââŻ3âŻcents below the exâdate low) to guard against a larger downside if the stock breaks its recent support around $1.20.
- Monitor fundamentals: The dividend announcement signals cash flow confidence. Confirm that the companyâs recent earnings (Q2âŻ2025) show net cash generation and that the dividend is not a oneâoff âpumpâandâdumpâ maneuver. If earnings remain solid, the priceârecovery bias strengthens the case for a shortâterm long position postâexâdate.
