This week is packed with important corporate actions for Indian stock market investors. Many well-known companies are scheduled to trade ex-dividend, meaning their stock price will adjust to reflect the upcoming dividend payout. Key companies going ex-dividend include Coal India, Shriram Finance, NTPC, Dabur India, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation, Colgate-Palmolive, DCM Shriram, Oracle Financial Services Software, Shree Cement, Hindustan Unilever, Nippon Life India Asset Management, Share India Securities, and Godrej Consumer Products.
Beyond dividends, BEML will be undergoing a stock split, reducing its face value from Rs 10 to Rs 5 per share, potentially making the stock more accessible to retail investors. RailTel Corporation of India, Happiest Minds Technologies, and Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders will also be declaring interim dividends for the second quarter.
Impact: This news directly affects investors holding or considering these stocks. Ex-dividend dates mean the stock price typically drops by the dividend amount, while stock splits can increase liquidity and attract more buyers. The collective corporate actions from these major companies can influence market sentiment and trading activity. The impact on the Indian stock market is rated 8/10.
Difficult terms explained: Ex-dividend: This is the date on which a stock starts trading without its upcoming dividend. If you buy a stock on or after its ex-dividend date, you will not receive the declared dividend payment. The seller receives the dividend instead. Interim dividend: A dividend paid out by a company during its financial year, rather than at the end of the year. Stock Split: A corporate action where a company divides its existing shares into multiple shares, increasing the number of outstanding shares but decreasing the price per share. The total market capitalization remains the same. Record date: The date by which a shareholder must be registered with the company to be eligible to receive the dividend.
