Dividend stocks: Shares of Bajaj Finance, Coforge, Laurus Labs, Bank of Maharashtra, and Transformers and Rectifiers (India) are expected to remain in focus today, Thursday, May 8, 2025, following their announcement of dividend rewards to shareholders. A dividend is often viewed as a form of passive income, representing a portion of a company’s profits distributed to shareholders as a reward for their investment.
According to BSE data, these stocks are scheduled to trade ex-dividend on May 9, 2025. The ex-dividend date marks the day a stock begins trading without the right to receive the declared dividend, meaning investors must own the stock before this date to be eligible. The companies, however, finalise the list of eligible shareholders based on their records on the record date.
