The upcoming week, starting Monday, December 22, 2025, is set to be an active period for investors as several prominent companies are scheduled to execute significant corporate actions. These include interim dividend payouts, bonus share issues, and stock splits, which will directly impact share prices and shareholder portfolios. Understanding the ex-dates is crucial for market participants to make informed decisions.
Dividend Payouts to Watch
Two companies will trade ex-dividend next week, meaning the stock price will adjust to reflect the dividend payout. Canara Robeco Asset Management Company Ltd will go ex-dividend on Monday, December 22, for an interim dividend of ₹1.5 per share. Following this, Prakash Pipes Ltd will trade ex-dividend on Wednesday, December 24, for an interim dividend of Re 1 per share. Shareholders on record up to 24 hours before the record date are eligible for these payments.
Bonus Issues and Stock Splits Announced
In addition to dividends, shareholders can look forward to bonus issues and stock splits. GRM Overseas Ltd has declared a bonus issue in the ratio of 2:1, with shares trading ex-bonus on Wednesday, December 24. Similarly, Ram Ratna Wires Ltd will issue bonus shares in a 1:1 ratio, with the ex-bonus date set for Friday, December 26. A bonus issue grants existing shareholders additional shares without increasing the dividend payout.
Furthermore, two companies will undergo stock splits to enhance liquidity. Knowledge Marine & Engineering Works Ltd will split its shares from a face value of ₹10 to ₹5, effective ex-split on Monday, December 22. Nuvama Wealth Management Ltd will execute a more substantial split, reducing the face value from ₹10 to ₹2, with the ex-split date on Friday, December 26. A stock split increases the number of shares held by each investor proportionally, making the stock more accessible.
Other Notable Corporate Actions
The week is packed with other important corporate events across various sectors. The schedule includes:
- Monday, 22 Dec: Pulsar International Ltd's Right Issue of Equity Shares.
- Tuesday, 23 Dec: Income distributions from InvITs like Digital Fibre Infrastructure Trust, Intelligent Supply Chain Infrastructure Trust, Vineet Laboratories Ltd, and Yug Decor Ltd.
- Wednesday, 24 Dec: Nectar Lifesciences Ltd's Buyback of Shares and DCM Shriram Industries Ltd's Spin-Off.
These actions reflect diverse strategies companies employ to return value to shareholders, restructure, or raise capital. Investors are advised to track these dates closely as they can influence short-term trading strategies and long-term investment valuations. Always consider consulting with a certified financial expert before making any investment decisions based on these corporate actions.
