Several dividend-paying stocks, including Coal India, Mazagon Dock, and BPCL, are scheduled to trade ex-dividend in the coming week, offering potential opportunities for investors seeking regular income. An ex-dividend date is when a stock starts trading without the value of the next dividend payment. To receive the dividend, investors must purchase the shares before the ex-dividend date.
Here's a closer look at some of the companies set to trade ex-dividend next week:
Coal India: As one of the world's largest coal producers, Coal India often provides substantial dividend payouts. Investors should check the specific dividend amount and ex-dividend date to determine eligibility for the next payout.
Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders: This defense sector company has also announced an upcoming ex-dividend date. The dividend amount and record date should be verified for those interested in this stock.
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL): This oil and gas company is also slated to trade ex-dividend soon. Investors should note the declared dividend amount and ensure they purchase shares before the ex-dividend date to qualify.
Other Stocks: Several other companies are also scheduled to trade ex-dividend next week. For instance, Bank of Montreal (BMO) had an ex-date of October 30, 2025, with a payment date of November 26, 2025. Commercial Metals (CMC) also had an ex-date of October 30, 2025, with payment scheduled for November 13, 2025.
Importance of Ex-Dividend Dates: The ex-dividend date is a crucial date for investors because it determines who is eligible to receive the next dividend payment. Typically, the stock price may drop by the amount of the dividend on the ex-dividend date, reflecting the fact that new buyers will not receive the upcoming dividend.
