Why the ex-date matters

The ex-date determines which shareholders are entitled to receive a corporate benefit such as a dividend, bonus share or rights entitlement.

Investors must purchase the stock before the ex-date for the shares to settle in their demat account by the record date. Those buying on or after the ex-date will not qualify for the announced corporate action.

Stock prices also typically adjust on the ex-date to reflect the value of the dividend or other corporate benefit.
