Six stocks are turning ex-date on September 25, 2026, including four dividend-paying companies and two stock splits. According to reports from ET Now, investors must purchase these stocks at least one trading day before the ex-date to qualify for the announced corporate benefits under the T+1 settlement cycle. The highest dividend among the group is offered by ADS Diagnostics Ltd at ₹1.20 per share, while Noble Polymers Ltd declares the lowest payout of ₹0.05 per share. As per NDTV Profit, this marks the last session for retail investors to buy shares to qualify for receiving the dividend before the stock goes ex-dividend.
The four dividend-paying companies have collectively declared dividends amounting to ₹2 per share.

Noble Polymers Ltd offers the lowest dividend at ₹0.05 per share. The record dates for dividend eligibility range from September 25 to September 26, 2026, with the record date determining eligible shareholders who will receive the dividend payment. According to NDTV Profit, shares purchased on the record date will not be eligible for the dividend payment, making investors who own shares by September 24 the beneficiaries.
Two companies are implementing stock splits on September 25. According to ET Now, Naturite Agro Products Ltd will undergo a 1:2 stock split from ₹10 face value to ₹5 face value, while Midwest Energy Ltd will subdivide its shares from ₹10 per share to ₹1 per share. The record date for both stock splits is fixed as September 25, 2026. As per NDTV Profit, the ex-dividend date, which mostly coincides with the record date, marks when the share price adjusts to reflect the upcoming payout. Naturite Agro Products has also executed a 1:2 stock split approved at the AGM on September 9, 2026, with the stock opening on the record date adjusted to a market price around ₹97.45 per share.
Investors have until September 24, 2026 to purchase these stocks to qualify for the announced corporate benefits. As reported by ET Now, shares will trade ex-dividend from September 25 onward, making new buyers ineligible for the dividend payouts. The ex-date mechanism ensures that only shareholders holding the stock before the specified date receive the declared benefits, whether dividend payments or stock split adjustments. According to NDTV Profit, dividends are a way for companies to reward shareholders and are essentially a return on investment, with dividends being taxable in the hands of shareholders and companies no longer required to pay Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT). The TDS on dividend income for resident individuals is 10% if the dividend amount exceeds ₹5,000 in a financial year.
