quote:

The dividend will be payable on June 1, 2017, to stockholders of record on May 30, 2017, with an ex-dividend date of May 25, 2017.

Pardon an investing rookie/idiot but what does it mean by the May 25th ex-dividend date? Does that mean that you'd need to have the stock on or before 5/25 in order to be a shareholder of record on 5/30?

Yes. Ex date is what matters. If you buy on the 30th you will not get the dividend.
