MUMBAI, India | August 25, 2026 —
Indian stock market investors tracking corporate actions have a busy session ahead on Tuesday, with seven companies scheduled to trade ex-dividend on August 25, while a stock split and rights-issue actions add to the day’s calendar.
The August 24–28 week is considerably larger: 67 companies are scheduled to hit ex-record dates for dividends, bonus issues, stock splits and other corporate actions during the week. But investors looking specifically at stocks to watch today, August 25, should focus on Tuesday’s smaller and more relevant list rather than the full weekly calendar.
The seven ex-dividend stocks scheduled for Tuesday are Deepak Fertilisers and Petrochemicals Corporation, Diffusion Engineers, MAS Financial Services, Mobavenue AI Tech, N R Agarwal Industries, Premco Global and Shivalik Bimetal Controls.
Stocks to Watch Today: August 25 Ex-Dividend List
Here is the key dividend calendar for Tuesday:
| Company | Dividend per Share | Ex-Dividend Date |
|---|---|---|
| Deepak Fertilisers | ₹10 | August 25 |
| Diffusion Engineers | ₹1.50 | August 25 |
| MAS Financial Services | ₹0.75 | August 25 |
| Mobavenue AI Tech | ₹0.50 | August 25 |
| N R Agarwal Industries | ₹2 | August 25 |
| Premco Global | ₹2 | August 25 |
| Shivalik Bimetal Controls | ₹2 | August 25 |
The ex-dividend date and record date for these companies are scheduled for August 25.
Investors should remember that a dividend announcement does not automatically make a stock attractive. Share price, valuation, earnings outlook, dividend sustainability and the company’s broader fundamentals remain important.
Deepak Fertilisers: ₹10 Dividend Puts Stock in Focus
Among Tuesday’s dividend names, Deepak Fertilisers carries the largest dividend amount at ₹10 per share.
That makes it one of the more prominent corporate-action stocks to watch during the session.
However, investors should not interpret a ₹10 dividend as a guaranteed ₹10 profit.
A stock normally adjusts around the ex-dividend date to reflect the value being distributed to shareholders, although actual market movement can be influenced by many other factors.
This distinction is particularly important for new investors searching for stocks immediately before or on their ex-dividend date.
Diffusion Engineers to Trade Ex-Dividend
Diffusion Engineers is scheduled to trade ex-dividend for a payout of ₹1.50 per share.
The company joins the group of smaller and mid-sized counters that could see additional investor attention because of Tuesday’s corporate-action calendar.
Trading volume can sometimes rise around ex-dates, but corporate actions alone should not be treated as buy or sell signals.
MAS Financial Services Dividend
MAS Financial Services is scheduled to trade ex-dividend for ₹0.75 per share on August 25.
Financial-sector stocks can also react to interest rates, borrowing costs, asset quality and credit growth, so investors tracking the dividend should keep the company’s wider business environment in view.
Mobavenue AI Tech in Focus
Mobavenue AI Tech is scheduled to trade ex-dividend for ₹0.50 per share.
The company’s technology positioning may make the counter particularly interesting to investors following India’s fast-growing AI and digital-business theme.
Still, the ex-dividend event itself should remain separate from any assessment of the company’s longer-term growth prospects.
N R Agarwal Industries Dividend
N R Agarwal Industries is scheduled to trade ex-dividend for ₹2 per share.
The paper-industry company is another name investors may see in corporate-action screens during Tuesday’s trading session.
As with other dividend stocks, shareholders should distinguish between dividend eligibility and expected market returns.
Premco Global Ex-Dividend Today
Premco Global is also scheduled to trade ex-dividend on August 25, with a dividend of ₹2 per share.
The company forms part of Tuesday’s seven-stock dividend list.
Shivalik Bimetal Controls: ₹2 Dividend
Shivalik Bimetal Controls rounds out Tuesday’s major dividend calendar with a scheduled ₹2 per-share dividend.
Investors tracking industrial and manufacturing counters may therefore keep the stock on their corporate-action watchlist.
Stock Split Today: Waterways Leisure Tourism in Focus
Dividend stocks are not the only corporate-action story for August 25.
Waterways Leisure Tourism is scheduled for a stock split from a face value of ₹10 per share to ₹1 per share.
A stock split increases the number of shares outstanding while reducing the face value per share proportionately.
For example, when one ₹10-face-value share is subdivided into ten ₹1-face-value shares, an investor’s number of shares rises while the economic value of the holding does not automatically increase merely because of the split.
Stock splits can make individual shares appear more affordable and may sometimes improve trading liquidity.
But they do not create business value on their own.
Two Rights Issues Also Feature on August 25 Calendar
Tuesday’s corporate-action calendar also includes rights-issue activity involving Ducon Infratechnologies and Esaar India.
A rights issue gives eligible existing shareholders an opportunity to purchase additional shares under terms specified by the company.
Investors should check the company’s official exchange filing for entitlement ratio, issue price, timetable and other conditions rather than relying only on market summaries.
What Does Ex-Dividend Mean?
The phrase “ex-dividend” often causes confusion among retail investors.
A company declares a dividend and specifies a record date for determining eligible shareholders.
Once a stock trades ex-dividend, a buyer purchasing on or after that ex-date generally does not receive the dividend attached to that particular corporate action.
This is why ex-dates attract considerable search interest.
But investors should avoid buying shares solely because a dividend looks large.
Will a Stock Fall by the Dividend Amount?
A stock’s reference price typically adjusts for the dividend around the ex-date, but actual trading prices are determined by the market.
Suppose a stock closes at ₹500 and carries a ₹10 dividend.
It would be wrong to assume that an investor can simply buy the stock and make an effortless ₹10 return.
The dividend becomes separated from the stock price, while normal buying and selling forces continue to affect the share.
The actual market price can therefore rise or fall depending on broader sentiment, company developments and investor demand.
67 Corporate-Action Stocks This Week — But Not Today
This distinction is crucial for Tuesday’s story.
The broader August 24–28 corporate-action calendar contains 67 companies, including better-known names such as NBCC, MCX, Paras Defence, NALCO, Senco Gold and Power Finance Corporation.
However, those stocks do not all share an August 25 ex-date.
For example, NALCO and Senco Gold were part of Monday’s August 24 dividend calendar, while PFC is scheduled for later in the week. MCX and Paras Defence are among the Friday, August 28 names.
That is why investors should check individual dates rather than treating the entire 67-stock list as one day’s trading event.
PFC Ex-Dividend Date Is August 27
Power Finance Corporation is scheduled to trade ex-dividend on Thursday, August 27, for a dividend of ₹3.90 per share.
PFC therefore remains a stock to watch later this week, but it should not be presented as an August 25 ex-dividend stock.
MCX and Paras Defence: Watch August 28
Two high-interest names arrive on Friday.
Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) is scheduled to trade ex-dividend for ₹9 per share on August 28.
Paras Defence and Space Technologies is scheduled for a ₹1 per-share dividend on the same date.
MCX can attract particularly strong investor interest because of its position in India’s commodity-derivatives ecosystem.
Paras Defence, meanwhile, sits within a defense sector that has seen heightened investor attention amid India’s indigenization push. Defense stocks including Paras Defence recently rallied after the government notified its sixth indigenization list.
Honasa Consumer, Poly Medicure and Whirlpool Also Coming Friday
Friday’s dividend calendar also contains several recognizable names.
Honasa Consumer, the parent of Mamaearth, is scheduled for a ₹3-per-share dividend.
Poly Medicure has a ₹3.50-per-share dividend on the calendar, while Whirlpool of India is scheduled for ₹5 per share.
Protean eGov Technologies is scheduled for a ₹10-per-share dividend.
This makes August 28 potentially the busiest high-recognition corporate-action session remaining this week.
Why Corporate Actions Attract Retail Investors
Dividend, bonus and stock-split searches often surge because they appear to offer a visible shareholder benefit.
But the three actions work very differently.
A dividend distributes part of a company’s resources to eligible shareholders.
A bonus issue gives shareholders additional shares according to a specified ratio.
A stock split subdivides existing shares into a larger number of lower-face-value shares.
None should be interpreted as free wealth creation.
The company’s underlying market capitalization and investor expectations remain fundamental.
Check Exchange Filings Before Trading
Corporate-action dates can occasionally be revised, and eligibility details can differ by action.
Investors should therefore verify important information against official exchange filings before taking a financial decision.
The NSE corporate filings and corporate actions page provides company announcements, corporate actions and board-meeting information. As of August 24, NSE was displaying fresh corporate-action and company-announcement data for listed securities.
Investors can also check the relevant company’s exchange filing for the final record date and terms.
What Should Investors Watch on August 25?
For Tuesday, the cleanest corporate-action watchlist is straightforward:
Seven ex-dividend stocks + Waterways Leisure Tourism’s stock split + two rights-issue actions.
The wider 67-company calendar remains useful for planning the rest of the week, particularly with PFC on August 27 and MCX, Paras Defence and several other recognizable companies on August 28.
For investors searching “stocks to watch today”, however, date accuracy matters more than the size of the weekly list.
And on August 25, the key dividend name by payout size is Deepak Fertilisers with ₹10 per share.
