Dividend, bonus, rights issue: Bajaj Finance, Infosys, 14 others in focus
Equity market investors are likely to pay close attention to the shares of Bajaj Finance, Infosys, Angel One and 13 other companies today, as they will trade ex-date tomorrow, May 30, 2025. This follows recent announcements of corporate actions, including dividends, bonus issues, and rights issues.
Shares trading ex-date for final dividend
According to data from the BSE, Angel One has declared a final dividend of ₹26 per share, Bajaj Finance ₹44 per share, and Infosys ₹22 per share. These dividends will only be paid to shareholders who own the shares before 30 May, which is the ex-dividend and record date for all three companies.
Other companies have also announced final dividends, such as GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals with ₹42 per share, Home First Finance Company ₹3.70 per share, Ponni Sugars (Erode) ₹3 per share, and UNO Minda with ₹1.50 per share.
Shares trading ex-date for interim dividend
In addition to final dividends, several companies have declared interim dividends as well. These include Advani Hotels & Resorts (India) at ₹0.90 per share, Caplin Point Laboratories ₹42 per share, Jagran Prakashan ₹6 per share, Jupiter Wagons ₹1 per share, Meghna Infracon Infrastructure ₹0.10 per share, S Chand and Company ₹4 per share, and Vimta Labs at ₹2 per share.
Bonus issue
Beyond dividends, Ujaas Energy is also expected to be in focus as it has announced a bonus issue in the ratio of 17:25. This means that shareholders will receive 17 bonus shares for every 25 shares they already hold, provided they own the shares as of the record date, which is also May 30, 2025.

Rights issue
Further, Bharat Bhushan Finance & Commodity Brokers has announced a rights issue involving 33,80,400 equity shares with a face value of ₹10 each, amounting to a total issue size of ₹3.38 crore. The rights entitlement ratio is 1:1, meaning shareholders will be eligible to receive one rights share for every fully paid-up share they already hold.
The ex-date refers to when a stock began trading without the entitlement to dividends, rights issues or bonus issues. This means that on or after this date, dividend, subdivision (stock split), bonus issue, or rights issue will not be available to a new buyer of the stock. To qualify for receiving these benefits, investors must own the stock before the ex-date. The beneficiaries of dividends, subdivisions (stock split), or rights issues, however, are determined by the company based on the list of investors recorded by the end of the record date.

LIC-owned NBFC to be in focus on Wednesday after allotment of NCDs worth ₹50 crore
Small-cap stock Paisalo Digital on Tuesday, 3 June 2025, announced that the company has allocated 5,000 non-convertible debentures (NCDs) of ₹ 1 lakh each through a private placement, according to the exchange filing. The LIC-owned NBFC allotted 5,000 debentures with a face value of ₹ 1 lakh apiece, marking the corporate action at ₹ 50 crore for the tenure of 24 months. The company is giving a coupon rate of 10 per cent p.a. with a monthly payment frequency. According to the BSE filing, the date of the one-time payment on maturity will be 3 June 2027, when the debentures are redeemed. Non-convertible debentures are debt instruments that a company uses to raise funds from investors. The entity raising the funds offers a fixed rate of interest over a set tenure. However, these NCDs can not be converted into equity shares of the company. In case of a delay in payment from the company's end, the lenders will receive an additional interest rate of 2 per cent per year. A delay will be accounted for when the payment of the interest or the principal is not carried out for more than three months, according to the filing data. Paisalo Digital shares closed 2.07 per cent lower at ₹ 31.16 after Tuesday's stock market session, compared to ₹ 31.82 at the previous market close. The company announced the update during the afternoon session of the Indian stock market on 3 June 2025. Paisalo Digital shares have given stock market investors more than 230 per cent returns on their investment in the last five years. However, the stock lost 52.40 per cent in the last one-year period. On a year-to-date (YTD) basis, the shares were down 36.93 per cent in 2025. Shares hit their 52-week high level at ₹ 81.95 on 12 July 2024, while the 52-week low level was at ₹ 29.75 on 7 April 2025, according to the data collected from the BSE website. The company's market capitalisation (M-Cap) was at ₹ 2,811 crore as of the stock market close on 3 June 2025.

Benchmarks stumble for third day; Nifty ends below 24,550 mark
Equity benchmarks ended deep in the red today, marking their third consecutive day of losses. The mood on Dalal Street turned sour as global trade tensions escalated following the U.S. decision to hike tariffs on steel and aluminium. The move spooked investors, especially given its implications for Indian exporters. Adding fuel to the fire, weak manufacturing data from both the U.S. and China pointed to cooling global demand. The Nifty started the day on a strong note, opening at 24,786.30 and briefly climbing to 24,845.10. But the early optimism faded fast. Persistent selling dragged the index to a low of 24,502.15 before it closed below the 24,550 mark. Recovery attempts in the second half were shallow and short-lived. Sectorally, private banks, energy, and consumer durables were the biggest laggards. However, realty stocks managed to stay afloat, buoyed by hopes of a potential rate cut from the Reserve Bank of India. The S&P BSE Sensex declined 636.24 points or 0.78% to 80,737.51. The Nifty 50 index dropped 174.10 points or 0.70% to 24,542.50. In the three consecutive sessions, the Sensex and Nifty declined 1.1% and 1.17%, respectively. Adani Ports & SEZ (down 2.42%), Bajaj Finance (down 1.69%) and ICICI Bank (down 0.90%) were major drags today. In the broader market, the S&P BSE Mid-Cap index fell 0.52% and the S&P BSE Small-Cap index shed 0.07%. The market breadth was negative. On the BSE, 1,731 shares rose and 2,266 shares fell. A total of 147 shares were unchanged. The NSE's India VIX, a gauge of the market's expectation of volatility over the near term, declined 3.51% to 16.56. Numbers to Track: The yield on India's 10-year benchmark federal paper declined 0.18% to 6.212 from previous close of 6.223. In the foreign exchange market, the rupee edged lower against the dollar. The partially convertible rupee was hovering at 85.5925, compared with its close of 85.3950 during the previous trading session. MCX Gold futures for 5 August 2025 settlement shed 0.26% to Rs 97,700. The US Dollar index (DXY), which tracks the greenback's value against a basket of currencies, was up 0.26% to 98.94. The United States 10-year bond yield fell 1.03% to 4.415. In the commodities market, Brent crude for August 2025 settlement shed 2 cents or 0.03% to $64.61 a barrel. Global Markets: US Dow Jones futures were down 160 points, signaling a weak start for Wall Street. Most European markets advanced as inflation in the euro zone eased to 1.9% from 2.2% in May. The drop was largely driven by, a steep monthly drop in services inflation from 4% in April to 3.2% in May, building the case for a widely anticipated interest rate cut from the European Central Bank when it meets on Thursday. Most Asian stocks ended higher on Tuesday, tracking overnight gains across all three major U.S. stock indices, despite ongoing global trade tensions. South Korean markets remained closed due to polling day. China responded to U.S. allegations of violating a temporary trade agreement, stating that the United States had failed to uphold its side of the deal. The exchange highlights increasing strain in trade negotiations between the two countries. Separately, the European Union criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to raise steel tariffs to 50%, arguing that the move could disrupt ongoing EU-U.S. trade discussions. An EU spokesperson reportedly indicated that the bloc is prepared to implement countermeasures if necessary. China's Caixin/S&P Global manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) declined to 48.3 in May from 50.4 in April, marking its first drop below the 50-point threshold, indicating contraction, since September of the previous year. In the U.S., stock indices ended higher on Monday, lifted by strong gains in technology stocks and a rally in the energy sector as oil prices climbed. Domestic steel and aluminum stocks also advanced on optimism around potential tariff hikes. Last week, Trump announced plans to double tariffs on imported steel and aluminium, from 25% to 50%, stoking hopes of increased protection for domestic producers. The S&P 500 rose 0.41%, the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.67%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 0.08%. US ISM Manufacturing PMI edged down to 48.5 in May from 48.7, marking the lowest reading since November.
