Dividend stocks: Shares of information technology (IT) giant HCL Technologies, 360 ONE WAM, ABB India, and six others are expected to remain in the spotlight during the week from Monday, April 28, 2025, to Friday, May 2, 2025, following their announcement of dividend rewards for shareholders. The others to feature in the list include Tanla Platforms, Vesuvius India, Gujarat Intrux, KSB, Mold-Tek Packaging, and Forbes Precision Tools and Machine Parts.
Data available on the BSE suggest that these shares are set to trade ex-dividend next week. The ex-dividend date refers to the day when a stock begins trading without the right to receive the declared dividend. Therefore, investors must own the stock before this date to be eligible to claim the dividend. The companies, however, finalize the list of eligible shareholders based on their records on the record date.
Among them, heavy electrical equipment maker ABB India has announced the highest (final) dividend of ₹33.50 per share for its shareholders, with the record date for the same being set on May 3, 2025. This is followed by HCL Technologies, which has announced an interim dividend of ₹18 per share for its shareholders. The tech giant has set April 28 as the record date to ascertain shareholders' eligibility for this corporate action.
Meanwhile, metal flow engineering player Vesuvius India has announced a final dividend of ₹14.50 per share for its shareholders, with the record date set for May 1, 2025.
