68 stocks including HCL Tech, MRF, and Dabur trade ex-dividend tomorrow. Combined payout is ₹1,365 crore. Last day to buy today.
Today is the last day to buy shares of 68 companies and still receive their upcoming dividend payouts. The combined value of the dividends on offer is roughly ₹1,365 crore.
HCL Technologies, MRF, and Dabur are among the largest names on the list. HCL Tech is paying ₹18 per share, MRF ₹3 per share, and Dabur ₹2.75 per share. The ex-dividend date for all 68 stocks is tomorrow, meaning anyone who buys after today's close will not qualify for the payout.
Other notable companies in the batch include Marico, Tata Communications, and Pidilite Industries. The dividend amounts range from ₹0.50 to ₹120 per share depending on the company.
For traders, the pattern is familiar: stocks often see a price adjustment on the ex-date equal to the dividend amount, though market conditions and broader sector moves can distort that. HCL Tech shares have gained roughly 8% over the past month, while MRF has been range-bound near ₹1,20,000.
Investors holding the shares through today's session will see the dividend credited to their accounts within 30 days of the record date, as per standard SEBI timelines.
Among the 68 stocks, about a dozen are from the Nifty 500 index. The rest are mid-cap and small-cap names where dividend yields tend to be higher as a percentage of share price.
