What Does Ex-Dividend Mean?
When a stock trades ex-dividend, it means new buyers of the shares will not be eligible to receive the declared dividend. Only shareholders whose names appear on the company’s record date qualify for the payout.
On the ex-dividend date, the stock price usually adjusts downward to reflect the dividend amount. Investors must purchase shares at least one trading session before the record date to be eligible.

Bonus Issue Announcement
Infobeans Technologies Ltd has announced a bonus issue in the ratio of 3:1. The stock will trade ex-bonus on February 27, 2026. Under this structure, shareholders will receive three additional shares for every one share held.
Bonus issues increase the total number of outstanding shares but do not change the company’s market capitalisation immediately. The move is often aimed at improving liquidity and broadening investor participation.
Stock Splits Scheduled
Fynx Capital Ltd will undergo a stock split from a face value of ₹10 to ₹1 per share, with the ex-split date set for February 25, 2026.
Angel One Ltd will also implement a stock split from ₹10 to ₹1, trading ex-split on February 26, 2026.
Stock splits increase the number of shares held by investors while proportionately reducing the face value. Though the overall investment value remains unchanged, splits often improve trading liquidity and accessibility for retail investors.
Rights Issues Next Week
In addition to dividends and splits, a few companies have announced rights issues. Hilton Metal Forging Ltd and Padam Cotton Yarns Ltd will have rights issues effective February 24, 2026. Bhandari Hosiery Exports Ltd will follow with its rights issue on February 25, 2026.
Rights issues allow existing shareholders to purchase additional shares, usually at a discounted price, thereby helping companies raise fresh capital.
Investor Takeaway
The upcoming week presents multiple corporate actions across sectors, ranging from infrastructure and chemicals to financial services and textiles. While dividend payouts offer income opportunities, bonus issues and stock splits may enhance liquidity and trading activity.
Investors should carefully check record dates, settlement timelines and company filings before making investment decisions. Market conditions can change rapidly, and corporate actions may impact stock prices in the short term.
