What is ex-date and why it matters

The ex-date is the cut-off date set by exchanges for corporate actions like dividends, buybacks, stock splits, or bonus issues.

If an investor buys a stock on or after the ex-date, they will not be eligible to receive the announced benefit. Only shareholders who own the stock before the ex-date are entitled.

In simple terms, the ex-date helps decide “who gets what” in a corporate action.
