IvyDB Implied Dividend

Anticipated Dividends Implied by the Options Market

IvyDB Implied Dividend is a comprehensive dataset that utilizes the predictive power of the options market to generate a risk-neutral measure of future dividends. Using pricing data to provide forward-looking dividend projections for optionable single-name securities in the US, IvyDB Implied Dividend gives investment banks, quant strategists, hedge funds, exchanges, equities and derivatives traders accurate dividend projections and greater predictive power for dividends based on the options market’s perception.

Greater Predictive Power

IvyDB Implied Dividend uses a superior methodology and more accurate model to predict dividend yields with the options market valuation of future dividends over time, versus historical, backward-looking data, used by other providers. IvyDB Implied Dividend’s numerical approach, incorporating binomial tree models to price risk-neutral dividend yields, offers greater accuracy in determining dividends for US options, over put-call parity, which can be prone to systematic bias as a result of the American-style exercise feature.

Benefits of IvyDB Implied Dividend

  • Gain important insights on dividend forecasts with forward-looking dividend projections for US optionable single-name securities
  • Assess dividend risk premium trades and pricing dividends into the future
  • Proxy for dividend uncertainty in the market against analyst and other dividend forecast expectations
  • Gauge signals in portfolio selection, such as in identifying stocks with a positive implied dividend yield
  • Assess cross-sectional comparisons across groups (sectors, market cap, etc.)
  • Backtest investment strategies
  • Intuitive and easy to use; no options expertise required
