As many as 88 companies are set to turn ex-record date for dividends, stock splits, bonus issues and other corporate actions between July 20-24, 2026, offering investors the final opportunity to buy their shares and become eligible for announced dividends, bonus issues, stock splits, spin-offs and other corporate actions. According to The Economic Times, these companies have announced 97 corporate actions collectively, with declared dividend payouts totaling ₹1,609.52 per share. The week begins with 20 stocks going ex-date on July 20, followed by 21 stocks on July 21, 22 stocks on July 22, 23 stocks on July 23, and 24 stocks on July 24. Investors must own the shares before the respective ex-date to be eligible for these benefits, with the record dates aligned for swift distribution of funds to eligible shareholders.
