Whenever a company issues dividends, the amount of dividend is removed from the stock price. Maybe a stupid question, but does this mean that taking a position in a stock after dividends is giving yourself a better position? Since your BEP will be lower.

For example, I was looking at $STNE, a Brazilian fintech company, which I wanted to take a position around $14. Now, due to the fact they sold some part of the business, they have issued dividends of $2 per stock. Now is the stock around $11.

Has the situation changed? If I believe in the company, is it not now a better situation to take a position? Or were the dividends priced in?

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question
