Investors are gearing up for an eventful week as a total of 15 companies are set to make significant corporate moves, such as dividends, stock splits, and bonus shares. From March 17 to March 23, the stocks of Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC), NMDC, Angel One, and Power Finance Corporation will be in the spotlight as they trade ex-date, prompting investors to keep a close eye on their portfolios.
Corporate actions like dividends and stock splits play a vital role in rewarding shareholders and making shares more accessible. While dividends provide a direct cash payout to shareholders, stock splits decrease the share price by increasing the number of shares available. On the other hand, bonus shares are additional shares issued to existing investors at no additional cost, adding value to their investments.
Exciting Week Ahead for Investors
Starting on Monday, March 17, Sika Interplant Systems will undergo a 2:10 stock split, attracting attention from investors looking to capitalize on the adjusted share prices. Additionally, on the same day, IRFC’s board will convene to discuss a second interim dividend for FY2025. IRFC has already marked March 21, 2025, as the record date for determining eligible shareholders for the dividend payout, setting the stage for potential gains.
As the week progresses, Tuesday, March 18, will witness Castrol India, DIC India, and Padam Cotton Yarns trading ex-date for dividends and a bonus issue, offering investors multiple opportunities to enhance their portfolios.
Key Dates to Mark on Your Calendar
Wednesday, March 19, will see AGI Infra and Power Finance Corporation going ex-date for dividends, presenting investors with further chances to reap the benefits of these corporate actions.
Thursday, March 20, will be another significant day for investors as Angel One is set to trade ex-date for an ₹11 dividend, while Blue Pearl Agriventures will undergo a stock split, adjusting its face value from ₹10 to ₹1.

Closing the week on Friday, March 21, stocks like Greenlam Industries, Last Mile Enterprises, Optimus Finance, Shukra Pharmaceuticals, and Softrak Venture Investment will trade ex-date, offering investors a diverse range of opportunities to make strategic investment decisions.
In a separate development, Navratna PSU NMDC is scheduled to announce an interim dividend for FY2024-25 on March 17, 2025, as previously disclosed, adding to the list of companies making significant corporate moves this week.
