Before buyng a share, check when the ex dividend date is. If you like I do, place Limit Orders, you can end up buying your chosen stock at your chosen price just because it has fallen after it went ex dividend.

It happened to me with United Utilities although I stopped my British land Limit Order and the price fell less than the dividend yesterday.
