What Dividends, Stock Splits and Demergers Mean

• Dividend: Part of company profits paid to shareholders, often in cash. Interim dividends are given before the financial year ends.
• Stock Split: Raises the number of shares while lowering face value, improving affordability and liquidity without changing total market value.
• Demerger (Spin-off): Separation of a business into a new independent company, with shareholders receiving proportional shares.

Understanding the Ex-Date

The ex-date is when a stock starts trading without the declared benefit such as a dividend or corporate action. To receive the benefit, investors must buy the stock in their demat account before the ex-date.

Conclusion

With Nestlé, NTPC, Accelya and 24 other stocks turning ex-date and total dividends nearing ₹139 per share, February 6 is significant for income-focused investors. Corporate actions like a stock split and demerger may also shape near-term market activity.
