Investors buying the stock on or after the ex-dividend date will not be entitled to the announced dividend.
Hyundai Motor is offering a final dividend of 210%, which translates to Rs 21 per equity share, based on a face value of Rs 10.
A dividend is a reward paid by a company to its shareholders, usually derived from profits. Dividends can be classified as interim or final, depending on whether they are declared before or after the company’s financial year-end.
The ex-dividend date is the first day a stock trades without the value of its upcoming dividend. To be eligible to receive the dividend, an investor must own the stock before this date. Given that Indian markets follow a T+1 settlement cycle, purchasing shares at least one trading day prior to the ex-date is necessary.
The record date, typically coinciding with or following the ex-dividend date, is when the company identifies shareholders eligible for the dividend payout.Dividends are a way for companies to share profits with their shareholders and are often seen as a sign of financial health and stability. Regular dividend payments can also enhance investor confidence and attract long-term investors seeking steady income.
