Dividend stocks: Bharat Forge, Biocon, Axis Bank and 30 other stocks will be on investors' radar today, as they will turn ex-date on Friday, July 4, 2025, following the announcement of dividend, bonus, and rights issue.
The ex-date marks the day a stock starts trading without the eligibility for dividends, bonus shares, stock splits, or rights issues. This means that investors who purchase the stock on or after the ex-date will not be entitled to these benefits.
To be eligible, an investor must hold the stock before the ex-date. However, the final list of beneficiaries for dividends, stock splits, or rights issues is prepared by the company based on shareholders recorded at the close of the record date.
Investors should note that the ex-date and record date for these stocks are the same, making them a key focus in today’s market.
