This week, 103 listed companies in India begin trading ex-dividend, meaning new buyers are no longer entitled to the most recently declared dividends. Multiple firms on the list include UltraTech Cement, which has announced a final dividend of Rs 240 per share. Other companies cited among the ex-dividend starters include Britannia Industries, which declares a final dividend of Rs 90.5 per share, and Eicher Motors, which declares a final dividend of Rs 82 per share. The coverage also highlights Wipro as one of the dividend stocks to watch during the ex-dividend period.
While the reports focus on the schedule and headline dividend amounts for specific companies, they collectively emphasize that the ex-dividend dates affect eligibility for dividend payments. Investors typically watch these dates to determine whether buying before the cutoff provides dividend rights and whether shares purchased on or after the ex-dividend date do not.
