Understanding Corporate Actions:

Ex-Dividend: The ex-dividend date is when a stock price is adjusted to reflect the next dividend payment. After this date, the stock does not carry the value of the next dividend.

Bonus Issue: A bonus issue involves companies distributing additional shares to existing shareholders instead of increasing the dividend payout.

Stock Split: A stock split increases the number of shares in circulation, improving liquidity, but does not change the company’s overall value.

Other corporate actions include:

Alka India Ltd.: Resolution Plan - Suspension on March 4, 2025.

Capital Infra Trust: Income Distribution (InvIT) on March 4, 2025.

PAE Ltd.: Resolution Plan - Suspension on March 4, 2025.
