Stock Changes Analyzed: What You Need to Know

Some companies are making changes to their shares, and this can affect how investors buy and sell them. These changes, called “ex-dates,” are important dates that signal a shift in ownership. Let’s break down what’s happening with Angel One, ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company, D. B. Corp, and United Van Der Horst.

Key Points

• Ex-dates mark when shares trade without dividend or split payouts.
• Shareholders must own the stock before the ex-date to receive benefits.
• Record dates determine eligible shareholders for dividend payouts or splits.
• Dividends are payments to shareholders from company profits.
• Stock splits increase the number of shares, lowering the price per share.
• Missing the ex-date means you won’t receive the dividend or split.

Angel One & ICICI Prudential: Paying Out Dividends

Angel One and ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company are giving out money to their shareholders. This is called a “dividend.” To get this money, you need to own the shares before a specific date – January 21, 2026. If you own the shares on or after that date, you won’t get the dividend.

Angel One is paying out ₹23 per share, and ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company is paying out ₹14.85 per share. The companies will use January 21, 2026, to decide who gets the money.

D. B. Corp: Another Dividend Payment

D. B. Corp is also paying out a dividend – ₹2 per share. Like the other companies, you need to own the shares before January 22, 2026, to get this payment.

United Van Der Horst: A Stock Split

United Van Der Horst is changing the way their shares are divided. They are splitting each share into five smaller shares. This means if you had one share worth ₹5, you’ll now have five shares worth ₹1 each.

The company will use January 22, 2026, to figure out who gets the new, smaller shares. This is called a “stock split”.

Understanding ex-dates is crucial for any investor to ensure they don’t miss out on potential financial gains.
