Alert for Investors: SBI, Godrej CP & 16 Other Stocks Go Ex-Date for Dividends & Bonuses Next Week
Eighteen prominent Indian stocks, including State Bank of India [SBIN] and Godrej Consumer Products [GODREJCP], are set to trade ex-date for various corporate actions like dividends and bonus issues in the coming week. Investors should check their holdings to ensure eligibility for these benefits.
Savvy investors know that corporate actions like dividends and bonus issues can significantly impact their portfolio returns. Staying informed about upcoming ex-dates is crucial to ensure eligibility for these shareholder benefits.
This week, a total of 18 Indian stocks are scheduled to turn ex-date for various corporate actions. This means that if you wish to be eligible for the announced dividends or bonus shares, you must hold the shares in your demat account by the record date, which typically falls on or before the ex-date.
Among the notable companies whose shares will go ex-date are banking behemoth State Bank of India [SBIN] and consumer goods giant Godrej Consumer Products [GODREJCP]. While specific details for each of the 18 companies regarding their respective corporate actions (e.g., dividend per share, bonus ratio) are unique, the principle remains the same: acquire shares before the ex-date to qualify.
An 'ex-date' (or 'ex-dividend date' for dividends) marks the day on or after which a stock trades without the right to receive the declared benefit. The 'record date' is the day the company checks its records to determine which shareholders are eligible. For most corporate actions, the ex-date is usually one business day before the record date.
For investors holding shares in these companies, it's advisable to refer to the individual company announcements on stock exchange websites (BSE and NSE) for precise details regarding the ex-date, record date, and the nature of the corporate action (e.g., dividend amount, bonus share ratio). Being proactive ensures you don't miss out on potential benefits from your investments.
