Corporate Actions This Week: A Guide for Indian Investors
The week ahead will witness a moderate amount of corporate actions, with several prominent companies trading ex-dividend or undergoing significant changes. In this article, we will delve into the key corporate actions that Indian investors should be aware of, including Infosys Ltd, L&T Technology Services Ltd, and KSE Ltd.
Ex-Dividend Dates: What Investors Need to Know
To receive the dividend, shareholders must own the stock before the ex-dividend date. Under India’s T+1 settlement system, shares bought on the record date will not qualify for dividend benefits. This means that investors who buy shares on or after the ex-dividend date will not be eligible to receive the dividend payment.
In the upcoming week, Infosys Ltd, 360 One WAM Ltd, and L&T Technology Services Ltd are among the key stocks that will trade ex-dividend.
Infosys Ltd: Interim Dividend and Record Date
Infosys Ltd declared an interim dividend of Rs 23 per equity share for the fiscal 2026 after the declaration of its second-quarter results. The company may disburse up to Rs 9,554 crore in dividend payments to the eligible shareholders, according to shareholder data from the BSE updated until June 2025.
The board has fixed October 27 as the record date for the purpose of dividend payment, and the company will pay the interim dividend on or before November 7.
L&T Technology Services Ltd: Ex-Dividend Date and Dividend Payment
L&T Technology Services Ltd will also trade ex-dividend in the coming week. The company has announced a second interim dividend of Rs 6 per equity share for the fiscal 2026, with a distribution of nearly Rs 242.54 crore to shareholders.
The board has fixed October 27 as the record date for the purpose of dividend payment, and the company will pay the interim dividend on or before November 15.
KSE Ltd: Stock Split and Its Implications
KSE Ltd will split its stock from Rs 10 per share to Re 1 per share on October 28. This stock split is expected to increase the liquidity of the stock and make it more attractive to retail investors.
However, it is essential to note that a stock split does not change the fundamental value of the company or its financial performance. Investors should carefully evaluate the company’s prospects and financials before making any investment decisions.
Other Corporate Actions: Dalmia Bharat Sugar, Modern Insulators, Dhani Services, and Indiabulls Enterprises
In addition to the ex-dividend dates and stock split, several other companies will undertake significant corporate actions in the coming week. Dalmia Bharat Sugar and Industries Ltd and Modern Insulators Ltd will undertake corporate spin-offs of their business assets on October 31.
Dhani Services Ltd and Indiabulls Enterprises Ltd will undertake amalgamation actions on October 28.
