Stock prices can drop for various reasons, and sometimes the decline is caused by a combination of factors. Those can include newly released earnings reports, negative company news, and changes in implicit value, explicit value and supply and demand for the stock.
On the actual ex-dividend date, the stock will drop by the amount of the dividend, so if stock ABC is paying out a dividend or $0.30 per share, its stock price will generally fall by that amount. Note that depending on how the market moves on that particular day the latter point does not always hold.
