Investment Landscape: Bajaj Holdings Among Companies Going Ex-Date

Published September 24, 2024

In the realm of investment, corporate events such as dividends, bonuses, and stock-splits are pivotal dates on every investor's calendar. An ex-date, or ex-dividend date, marks a significant transition where the rights to dividends are concerned. It is the final day when purchasing a stock includes the entitlement to its declared dividend. As we approach such a juncture, Bajaj Holdings along with seven other companies are notable entrants into this phase, where shareholders need to be abreast of how this will affect their portfolio.

Understanding the Ex-Date Phenomenon

When a company goes ex-date, it means that new buyers of the stock on that day will not be eligible for the most recent dividend payout. It's essential for investment strategies, since timing a purchase just before a stock goes ex-date can ensure the receipt of dividends. Conversely, selling on or after this date can lead to potentially missing out on this investor benefit. The anticipation of such corporate events often leads to increased volatility in the respective stock's price movements.
