KPIT Technologies among 7 stocks will trade ex-dividend on Tuesday. Last day to buy

Income-seeking investors have a final opportunity to qualify for upcoming dividend payouts from 7 companies, including KPIT Technologies, as the shares must be purchased by the end of today, because February 4 marks the ex-dividend date for these firms.

Investors purchasing shares on or after this date will forfeit their eligibility for the declared dividends.

Dividends, a significant component of total shareholder return, are typically paid in cash, often on a quarterly basis, though some companies may opt for stock dividends.


The eligibility is determined by shareholder status on the record date, which generally aligns with the ex-dividend date under the T+1 settlement cycle. This system mandates that trades settle one day after the transaction date. Consequently, investors must complete their share purchase at least one trading day prior to the ex-dividend date to ensure settlement and dividend eligibility.

Companies with a history of consistent profitability and financial stability often distribute dividends as a means of sharing earnings with shareholders. This practice makes dividend-paying stocks particularly attractive to investors prioritizing a steady income stream.

Aarti Drugs had declared an interim dividend of Re 1 per share.

Aurionpro Solutions had declared an interim dividend of Re 1 per share.
