Mostly no after the fact. If I have a company due for a raise and they have a good rep for large div raises I might grab few shares if they happen to be down. Usually the time lag from announcement to ex-div is sufficiently long enough and the market provides an entry if you are interested in adding.

Not generally, but there are times when it can be a good time to buy.
For instance, ABBV announced a 10% dividend increase back in October, which pushed the forward yield to nearly 6.5%. This was a bigger increase than many expected, and locking in the higher yield at the time was a good move to make. Shares are up $30 since the announcement.
Can be a good time to add to utilities as well. With some now down 20% from 52-week highs, adding a 7% increase to the payout on top of that is a nice way to pick up a little extra yield.

Here is my utility watch list.
With the pullback there are quite a few projected for double-digit annual returns now.
I stick to ones growing at least 5% annually, and am long AWK, D, NEE, SRE, WEC and XEL, but there are several other high quality ones too.
RE: Dividend Announcement Thread! - fenders53 - 01-20-2021
I tend to like the same UTEs Eric does. His list is good though I wouldn't add much NEE right now. (And I'll surely be wrong for saying that lol). I already own quite a lot of NEE.
I've been picking up the following UTEs, shares and/or selling puts.
XEL-AEP-WEC-DUK look good here. Most of them will very likely be good for a 10% pop when the market circles back around looking for a dividend. IMO UTEs are over-reacting to interest rate increases. I believe that will happen but rates are not going up nearly enough to make a UTE yield look unattractive. That would crush the economy and the market. There are a lot of UTEs that are not down. ALE is up 20% since I started yapping about it here. I have no clue why but I see no need to buy anything that isn't high quality AND on sale now. I am at risk of gong overweight UTEs and I am good with that here.
