Mumbai: Eight companies, including TVS Motor Company, REC, and KBC Global, are scheduled to trade ex-date next week for various corporate actions such as dividends, bonus issues, and rights issues. Investors should take note of the ex-date to ensure eligibility for these benefits, as purchasing stocks on or after this date will disqualify them from receiving dividends, bonus shares, or participating in rights issues.
Key Dividend Announcements
Several companies have declared interim dividends, offering shareholders attractive returns.
- Ksolves India has announced an interim dividend of ₹7.50 per share, while Mishra Dhatu Nigam will distribute ₹0.75 per share. The record date for both companies is Tuesday, March 25, 2025.
- REC has declared an interim dividend of ₹3.60 per share, whereas TVS Motor Company will pay ₹10 per share. The record date for these dividends is Wednesday, March 26, 2025.
- Kama Holdings will finalize a second interim dividend for FY 2024-25 in a board meeting on Monday, March 24, 2025. The record date for this dividend is set for Friday, March 28, 2025.
Bonus Issues Announced
Two companies have announced bonus issues to reward their shareholders:
- Dhanalaxmi Roto Spinners will issue bonus shares in a 4:1 ratio, meaning shareholders will receive four new shares for every existing share held. The record date is Thursday, March 27, 2025.
- KBC Global has proposed a 1:1 bonus issue, granting shareholders one additional share for every share they own. The record date for this bonus issue is Friday, March 28, 2025.
Rights Issue Details
Bodhi Tree Multimedia has announced a rights issue of 5,55,37,777 equity shares at ₹8 per share. The offer is structured in a 4:9 ratio, allowing eligible shareholders to purchase four new equity shares for every nine shares held. The record date to qualify for this issue is Monday, March 24, 2025.
Why the Ex-Date Matters for Investors
The ex-date is crucial for investors as it determines eligibility for corporate benefits. Investors must hold shares before the ex-date to receive dividends, bonus shares, or rights issues. If they purchase shares on or after the ex-date, they will not qualify for these benefits.
Maximizing Returns Through Corporate Actions
Investing before the ex-date can be beneficial, as corporate actions often enhance a stock’s value. Dividends provide a steady income stream, while bonus shares increase the number of shares held without requiring additional investment. Rights issues, on the other hand, allow existing shareholders to purchase more shares at a discounted rate, strengthening their stake in the company.
Staying Updated for Informed Investment Decisions
Corporate actions have a significant impact on stock market movements, making it essential for investors to stay informed. Whether it is dividend earnings, bonus shares, or rights issues, understanding these factors can help investors make well-informed decisions and build a strong, profitable portfolio over time.
