Trade Timeline

Entry
Thu, Jan 29
Target entry on the trading day immediately before the 2026-01-30 ex-dividend date, ideally into intraday weakness to improve risk/reward.
Ex-Date
Fri, Jan 30
Dividend locked in
Exit
Fri, Feb 13
Primary plan: exit 7–14 days after ex-dividend (2026-02-06 to 2026-02-13), watching for price recovery toward pre-ex levels and locking in if the ~1.0–1.5% expected return is reached earlier.

Risk Factors

  • Low overall quality and Long-Term Score (both 20/100) increase the risk of adverse fundamental or headline moves during the 14-day hold period.
  • Dividend size ($0.0092) and forward yield (0.86%) are small, so the trade relies more on historical price behavior than on the dividend itself.
  • ATR of 2.74% indicates meaningful short-term volatility that can easily overwhelm the ~1% expected capture return in the wrong direction.
  • Historical win rates near 56–60% (e.g., 59.5% for 1d buy/14d sell, 57.6% for 14d buy/7d sell) are statistically favorable but far from certain, implying frequent small losses.
  • Medium confidence level and Tier 4 classification suggest model signals are not robust enough to size this trade aggressively.

Action Checklist

  • 1.Confirm the ex-dividend date (2026-01-30) and payment details ($0.0092 per share) with your broker or the company’s official announcements closer to the date.
  • 2.Size the position modestly given Tier 4 quality and an ATR of 2.74%, assuming this is a tactical capture trade, not a core holding.
  • 3.Plan to enter 1 trading day before ex-dividend, ideally on an intraday pullback to improve expected return versus risk.
  • 4.Set a target exit window of 7–14 days post ex-dividend (around 2026-02-06 to 2026-02-13), monitoring for recovery toward pre-ex price levels.
  • 5.Use stop-loss or mental loss limits that recognize the expected capture return is ~1.0–1.5%, so downside should be capped before losses materially exceed that range.
  • 6.Track price behavior versus historical patterns (win rate ~59.5%, gap fill ~92.1%, average recovery ~10.2 days) and be willing to exit early if the thesis breaks.
  • 7.Reassess after the trade: if volatility, news, or price action deviate sharply from historical behavior, avoid repeating the strategy on future cycles.

Analysis Summary

Grupo Aval ($AVAL) scores poorly as a long-term dividend holding, with a low Quality Score (20/100), Tier 4 classification, and a modest 0.86% forward yield that doesn’t justify buy-and-hold income risk. However, its historical dividend-capture stats are more attractive: a 59.5% win rate and ~1.05% expected return for a 1-day-before / 14-day-after strategy, plus over 92% gap-fill rates, support a cautious, short-term capture trade rather than a permanent position.
