Key Dividend Highlights for May 12-16, 2025
Several major market players including State Bank of India (SBI), BEML, and Great Eastern Shipping are scheduled to trade ex-dividend in the upcoming week starting Monday, May 12, 2025. These dividend announcements present potential opportunities for income-focused investors looking to capitalize on corporate payouts.
The ex-dividend date marks an important milestone for shareholders.
