Dividend stocks: Shares of State Bank of India (SBI), Indian Energy Exchange (IEX), and 8 other companies are expected to remain in the spotlight today, Thursday, May 15, 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 16, 2025.

Other companies featuring on the list include Advanced Enzyme Technologies, Authum Investment & Infrastructure, Alicon Castalloy, Aptech, Aptus Value Housing Finance India, Fabtech Technologies Cleanrooms, Kewal Kiran Clothing, and Narmada Macplast Drip Irrigation Systems.
