With a market capitalization of Rs. 575.26 crore, Morganite Crucible (India) Ltd. is a small-cap company that operates in the industrial sector. The company Morganite Crucible (India) Limited produces and sells crucibles and related refractory goods. The firm has declared a 240% dividend with a face value of ₹5 or ₹12 per equity share, with a record date of September 20, 2022; as a result, the ex-date is September 19, 2022.
Last month, the Board of Directors of the company said that “the Company has fixed Tuesday, September 20, 2022 as the record date for the purpose of 37th Annual General Meeting and determining the Members eligible for dividend on equity shares, subject to approval of the members at 37th Annual General Meeting of the Company."
Since the ex-date for corporate actions like dividend falls one day prior to the record date, the shares of Morganite shall trade ex-dividend tomorrow. The corporation has also said that from Wednesday, September 21, 2022, to Tuesday, September 27, 2022 (both days inclusive), the Register of Members and Share Transfer books would remain closed and its 37th Annual General Meeting to be held on Tuesday, September 27, 2022. Taking the ₹12 per equity share dividend of Morganite into consideration, the dividend yield goes to 1.17%.
An investor should purchase shares of a company's stock at least one or two days prior to the ex-date in order to be eligible for dividends owing to India's T+1 and T+2 settlement cycles.
