The Indian markets on Thursday, 11 September 2025, may not have seen any blockbuster quarterly results, but investors are closely watching another earnings-linked trigger—ex-dividend trading. Several listed companies, including IRCON International, Datamatics Global, Century Plyboards, Capri Global, TNPL, TV Today Network and Nirlon, have turned ex-dividend today. This means that new buyers of these stocks from today onward will not be eligible for the declared dividend.
For investors, these dates are important because they directly affect short-term stock prices, long-term yield calculations, and sometimes even overall market sentiment.
Ex-Dividend Stocks on 11 September
| Company | Dividend (₹/Share) | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| IRCON International | 1 | Final Dividend |
| Datamatics Global | 5 | Final Dividend |
| Century Plyboards | 1 | Final Dividend |
| Capri Global Capital | 0.20 | Final Dividend |
| Tamil Nadu Newsprint & Papers (TNPL) | 3 | Final Dividend |
| TV Today Network | 3 | Final Dividend |
| Nirlon Ltd | 11 | Final Dividend |
What Ex-Dividend Means
When a stock goes ex-dividend, it means that the cut-off date for dividend eligibility has passed. Only shareholders who held the stock before the ex-date will receive the payout. As a result, the share price usually adjusts downward roughly equal to the dividend amount.
For example, if Datamatics is trading at ₹600 and declares a ₹5 dividend, its price may open lower by about ₹5 on the ex-date. This doesn’t mean the company has lost value; it’s simply a technical adjustment since the cash is now being distributed to shareholders.
Market Reactions & Investor Strategy
- Short-Term Impact: Many traders use ex-dividend dates as opportunities to enter or exit positions, especially if they expect the stock to recover quickly after the technical price adjustment.
- Long-Term View: For investors focused on steady returns, dividends play an important role in overall yield. Companies like Nirlon, which announced a relatively high payout of ₹11 per share, often attract attention from income-focused investors.
- Sectoral Watch: Mid-cap counters such as Datamatics and Capri Global tend to see sharper intraday moves when dividend events coincide with broader market volatility.
Dividend declarations are not just about cash payouts. They signal a company’s financial stability, cash flow strength, and management’s confidence in the business. In a week where no major quarterly earnings are dominating headlines, dividend-linked moves are helping guide market activity.
For retail investors, tracking these dates is crucial. Missing out could mean losing dividend income or mistiming trades around sudden price swings. For institutions, such events are already factored into strategies, but the impact on volumes and retail sentiment remains noticeable.
