LIC, Asian Paints, and HUL: 35 Stocks Set for Dividends and Bonus Issues

A significant wave of corporate actions is hitting the Indian equity markets this week, with 35 companies scheduled to turn ex-record date. From massive dividend payouts by blue-chip giants like Asian Paints to a major share buyback by Bajaj Auto, investors must ensure their holdings are in place to qualify.

Mid-Week Dividend Heavyweights: Asian Paints and HUL Lead

Tuesday, June 23, stands out as a major day for income-seeking investors, with 11 stocks turning ex-record date for dividends. Asian Paints leads the pack with a substantial final dividend of ₹23 per share. Following closely is consumer goods giant Hindustan Unilever (HUL), which will distribute ₹22 per share.

Other notable dividend payers on Tuesday include Tata Power (₹2.5 per share), Anand Rathi Share & Stock Brokers (₹5 per share), and Dalmia Bharat (₹5 per share). Investors in the hospitality and healthcare sectors should also note payouts from The Indian Hotels Company (₹3.25 per share) and Thyrocare Technologies (₹7 per share).

Bonus Issues and Bajaj Auto's Massive Buyback

Wednesday, June 24, introduces more diverse corporate actions beyond simple cash dividends. ZF Commercial Vehicle Control Systems India has set this day as the record date for a 5:1 bonus issue, offering a significant boost to the share count for eligible holders.

In a major move for large-cap investors, Wednesday is also the record date for Bajaj Auto’s ₹5,633 crore share buyback. Determining eligibility for this massive capital return requires investors to hold their positions before the cutoff. Additionally, Wheels India (₹9.14 per share) and Shankar Buildpro (₹5 per share) will turn ex-dividend on this day.

LIC and Supreme Industries Set Thursday Payouts

Thursday, June 25, will see another cluster of heavyweight dividend distributions. Supreme Industries is set to deliver the highest payout among Thursday's list, offering a final dividend of ₹25 per share. State-owned giant Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) will pay ₹10 per share, while IndusInd Bank will distribute ₹1.5 per share.

Orodha ya Alhamisi ni ndefu, ikijumuisha malipo kadhaa yenye thamani kubwa ikiwemo Care Ratings (₹14 kwa kila hisa), Nippon Life India AMC (₹12.5 kwa kila hisa), na Alkyl Amines Chemicals (₹10 kwa kila hisa). Majina mengine muhimu ni pamoja na Dr Lal Pathlabs (₹4 kwa kila hisa), Syngene International (₹1.25 kwa kila hisa), na Sona BLW Precision Forgings (₹1.8 kwa kila hisa).

Kuelewa Tarehe ya Kumbukumbu (Record Date)

Kwa hatua hizi zote za kampuni—iwe ni gawio, utoaji wa hisa za ziada (bonus issue), au ununuzi wa hisa (buyback)—"tarehe ya kumbukumbu" (record date) ndiyo ukomo muhimu. Ili kustahili kupata faida hizi, mwekezaji lazima awe na hisa zilizowekwa kwenye akaunti yake ya demat siku hiyo au kabla ya tarehe hiyo. Kwa kuwa orodha hii bado ni ya awali, wawekezaji wanashauriwa kufuatilia matangazo zaidi kutoka kwa kampuni zilizo kwenye jalada lao la uwekezaji.

Mambo Muhimu ya Kuzingatia

  • Malipo Makubwa: Asian Paints (₹23) na Supreme Industries (₹25) ni miongoni mwa watoaji gawio wakuu wiki hii.
  • Hatua Mbalimbali: Wiki hii haijumuishi gawio pekee, bali pia utoaji wa hisa za ziada wa 5:1 kutoka ZF Commercial na ununuzi wa hisa wa ₹5,633 crore uliofanywa na Bajaj Auto.
  • Sheria ya Ustahiki: Wawekezaji lazima wawe na hisa husika kwenye akaunti zao za demat katika tarehe ya kumbukumbu iliyopangwa ili kustahili kupata faida yoyote.
