Comprendere la Record Date
Per tutti i titoli sopra menzionati, la "record date" è la scadenza fissata dalle società per determinare quali azionisti hanno diritto a ricevere dividendi, azioni bonus o a partecipare ai buyback. Per averne diritto, il nome dell'investitore deve comparire nel registro dei soci della società in questa specifica data. A causa del ciclo di regolamento T+1 in India, gli investitori dovrebbero idealmente completare i propri acquisti almeno un giorno lavorativo prima della ex-date per garantire che i propri titoli vengano elaborati in tempo.
Punti Chiave
- Pagamenti principali: Asian Paints (₹23) e Supreme Industries (₹25) sono tra i titoli che pagano i dividendi più alti questa settimana.
- Azioni diverse: La settimana presenta un mix di dividendi in contanti, un'emissione di azioni bonus con rapporto 5:1 da parte di ZF Commercial e un buyback da ₹5.633 crore da parte di Bajaj Auto.
- Regola di idoneità: Gli investitori devono detenere le azioni nei propri conti demat prima della ex-record date per avere diritto a qualsiasi beneficio societario.
