Dividend Stocks : Investors looking for dividend income should mark their calendars, as several major stocks, including Oil India, Bharat Forge, Gillette India, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), KPI Green Energy, and Procter & Gamble Health, are set to trade ex-dividend starting Monday, February 17, 2025.
According to data from the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), multiple companies have also announced bonus issues and stock splits along with their dividend payouts. These corporate actions can influence stock prices, making it crucial for investors to stay updated.
What is the Ex-Dividend Date and Why Does It Matter?
The ex-dividend date is when a stock no longer carries the right to its upcoming dividend payment. Investors who buy the stock on or after this date will not be eligible for the dividend; only those holding shares before the record date will receive the payout.
On the ex-dividend date, stock prices usually adjust to reflect the upcoming dividend payout, which is why traders and investors monitor such announcements closely.
