Upcoming Dividend Stocks and Corporate Actions
Dividend stocks are an essential part of many investors’ portfolios, offering not just potential capital appreciation but also a regular income stream. Major companies including Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Anand Rathi Wealth Ltd, and NRB Bearings Ltd are set to trade ex-dividend starting Monday, October 14, 2024, according to data from the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). This means that investors who purchase these stocks on or after this date will not receive the upcoming dividend payouts.
What Does Ex-Dividend Mean?
The term ex-dividend indicates the day when the share price adjusts to reflect the next dividend payout by the company. Once a stock goes ex-dividend, it does not carry the value of the upcoming dividend, which becomes crucial for investors eager to capture dividend payments. Only shareholders listed on the company’s records by the end of the record date will be eligible for the dividends.
