Keep an eye on these companies
This business week starting from Monday, May 25 is going to be very interesting for investors betting in the stock market. There will be huge movement in the shares of more than 30 companies on Dalal Street for the next few days. Market experts are keeping a special eye on Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), ITC, Tata Consumer Products, Bajaj Auto as well as government giant LIC. In fact, these companies have announced many big corporate actions for their investors like dividend, bonus shares, stock split and buyback.
Mathematics of additional income from dividend
In the stock market, companies distribute a certain part of their annual profits with their shareholders, which is called dividend in technical language. However, this profit comes directly into the demat account of only those investors whose names are officially registered in the register of the company on the ‘record date’. Its simple mathematics is that if you buy shares after the ex-dividend date, you will not get any benefit from this additional earning. The general rule of the market is that when there is an ex-dividend, the price of that share also usually comes down in the same proportion as the amount of dividend declared. This week, big companies like TCS, ITC and Bajaj Auto are going to pay huge dividends to their investors.
Great opportunity for free shares
There will be a lot of activity on the bonus shares front in this business week. The biggest name in this list is the government insurance company LIC. LIC shares will ex-trade for bonus in the ratio of 1:1 on May 29. If you understand in simple language, investors will get one free share for every share. Apart from this, PAE Ltd has decided to give bonus in the ratio of 6:1 to its shareholders, the ex-date of which has been fixed as May 25. At the same time, investors of F Mec International will also directly benefit from the bonus of 1:10 on May 26.
