Mid-Week Highlights: Bajaj Auto Buyback and ZF Commercial Bonus

Wednesday, June 24, features two high-impact corporate actions. ZF Commercial Vehicle Control Systems India has fixed this date for its 5:1 bonus issue, offering additional shares to existing investors.

More importantly, Wednesday is the critical record date for Bajaj Auto’s massive ₹5,633 crore share buyback program. Investors looking to participate in this capital return scheme must ensure their holdings are processed before this deadline. Additionally, Wheels India will turn ex-dividend with a payout of ₹9.14 per share.

Thursday’s Heavyweights: LIC and Supreme Industries

The momentum continues into Thursday, June 25, with a long list of companies turning ex-record date. Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) is set to pay a final dividend of ₹10 per share, a key move for retail investors holding the state-run giant.

In terms of pure value per share, Supreme Industries leads the Thursday cohort with a significant dividend of ₹25 per share. Other key players include:

  • Care Ratings: ₹14 per share
  • Alkyl Amines Chemicals: ₹10 per share

Understanding the Record Date

Para todas las acciones mencionadas anteriormente —ya sea un dividendo, una emisión de acciones gratuitas o una recompra— los inversores deben mantener el número requerido de acciones en sus cuentas demat en la "fecha de registro" especificada. Estar "ex-fecha de registro" significa que, si compra la acción en dicha fecha o después de ella, no será elegible para recibir el próximo beneficio corporativo.

Conclusiones clave

  • Dividendos de alto valor: Asian Paints (₹23) y Supreme Industries (₹25) se encuentran entre las empresas que pagan los dividendos por acción más altos de esta semana.
  • Bonos y recompras: Esté atento a la emisión de acciones gratuitas de ZF Commercial en una proporción de 5:1 y a la recompra de ₹5,633 crore de Bajaj Auto el miércoles.
  • Actividad de empresas Blue-Chip: Grandes pesos pesados como LIC, HUL e IndusInd Bank tienen programadas acciones corporativas para esta semana.
