40+ Stocks Turning Ex-Date This Week: Key Dates

More than 40 listed companies are scheduled to turn ex-date during the week of November 2–6, 2026, bringing dividends, bonus issues, rights issues and stock splits into focus for investors. Major companies on the list include Infosys, Asian Paints, Coal India, Power Grid Corporation of India and Info Edge.

Sanofi India has announced the highest dividend among the companies highlighted for the week, with a payout of Rs 75 per share. The corporate actions provide investors with several dates to track, particularly those holding shares in companies announcing cash distributions or changes to their share capital.

Major stocks turning ex-date between November 2 and 6

The upcoming week features corporate actions across several sectors. Infosys, Asian Paints, Coal India, Power Grid and Info Edge are among the prominent names attracting attention. Their scheduled ex-dates relate to corporate benefits announced by the respective companies.

Investors should distinguish between an ex-date and a record date. The ex-date is the date from which a stock trades without the benefit of a particular corporate action. The record date is when the company checks its shareholder records to determine which investors qualify for that benefit.

Sanofi India announces Rs 75 dividend per share

Sanofi India is set to offer the week’s highest announced dividend, at Rs 75 per share. Dividend payments provide shareholders with a cash return, although the amount received depends on the number of eligible shares held and applicable tax rules.

Investors tracking the payout should check the company’s official corporate announcement for the relevant record date, payment timeline and other conditions. The dividend amount alone does not determine whether an investment is suitable, as the stock price and the company’s financial performance also matter.

Bonus issues and stock splits: What investors should know

Bonus issues and stock splits change the number of shares held by investors, but they work differently from dividends.

In a bonus issue, a company distributes additional shares to eligible existing shareholders without requiring them to make a fresh payment. The number of shares an investor receives depends on the announced bonus ratio. However, the total value of the holding does not automatically increase simply because the share count rises.

A stock split divides existing shares into a larger number of shares by reducing their face value. For example, in a 1:2 split, one existing share becomes two shares, subject to the company’s announced terms. The market price generally adjusts in proportion to the split, while the underlying value of the investment remains broadly unchanged by the corporate action itself.

Rights issues and their impact on shareholders

A rights issue gives eligible existing shareholders the opportunity to purchase additional shares, usually in proportion to their current holdings and at a price specified by the company. Unlike bonus shares, rights shares require investors to pay the applicable subscription amount.

Shareholders should review the issue price, entitlement ratio, subscription period and other conditions before deciding whether to participate. The treatment of rights entitlements can differ depending on the terms of the offer.

What investors should check before the ex-date

• Confirm eligibility: Check the company’s official exchange filing for the ex-date, record date and eligibility requirements.
• Understand the corporate action: Dividends, bonus issues, rights issues and stock splits have different implications for shareholders.
• Check the relevant ratios: Review the dividend amount, bonus ratio, split ratio or rights entitlement before making an investment decision.
• Consider price adjustments: Share prices may adjust when stocks begin trading ex-dividend or after a bonus issue or split.
• Avoid relying only on announcements: Corporate actions should be considered alongside company fundamentals, valuation and investment goals.

Corporate action dates require careful tracking

The November 2–6 calendar offers investors a busy schedule of corporate actions involving more than 40 companies. With major names such as Infosys, Asian Paints, Coal India, Power Grid and Info Edge included, shareholders may want to review the announcements relevant to their portfolios.

However, the available information does not provide the complete company-wise list, individual ex-dates, corporate-action ratios or record dates. Investors should verify these details through the respective companies’ announcements and stock exchange disclosures before taking any action.
