This update holds special significance for investors who adopt dividend-based investment strategies. The companies that have announced record dates are CE Info Systems (MapmyIndia) and Kaira Can Company.
Since this announcement was made after the market closed, its impact on these shares can be observed in the next trading session. Both companies had already announced their plans to pay dividends along with their quarterly results in May; now, they have made the necessary record dates public.
CE Info Systems (MapmyIndia) Announces Record Date Information
CE Info Systems, which provides mapping and location-based services, has declared July 18, 2025, as the record date for the dividend payment. The company had announced a dividend of ₹3.50 per share along with its quarterly results in May.
On Thursday, the share closed with a slight decline. The stock fell by 0.8 percent and closed at ₹1736.
If we look at the performance of the past year, this share had reached a high of ₹2689, which was the figure a year ago. The annual minimum level was ₹1515, seen in December 2024.
CE Info Systems, known as MapmyIndia, is a leading geolocation and digital mapping company in India. The company provides digital location data and services to the government, automobiles, smartphones, and other industries. Due to its b client base and growing technology demand, the company's stock remains a topic of discussion among investors.
Kaira Can Company Sets Record Date as August 1
Kaira Can Company, a company in the packaging sector, also announced the dividend record date on Thursday. The company stated that investors' names should be registered by August 1, 2025, to receive the dividend.
The company announced a dividend of ₹12 per share in May. In Thursday's trading session, the company's share closed at ₹1695, with a slight increase of 0.3 percent.
If we consider the stock's 52-week performance, its highest level was ₹2340, which was seen in May of this year. This indicates that the company's performance has been better in recent months, and investors are keeping an eye on it.
Kaira Can Company primarily operates in the tin and metal packaging segment. The company's clients include large companies from the FMCG and dairy industries. Regular dividend payments and a stable business model make it attractive for long-term investors.
Why the Dividend Record Date is Important
When a company announces a dividend, it sets a specific date called the record date. Investors who hold the company's shares until this date are entitled to receive the dividend. This means that if you have purchased shares before the record date and they are registered in your demat account, you are eligible to receive the dividend.
In the case of CE Info Systems, the record date is July 18, and in the case of Kaira Can, it is August 1. This means that any investor holding the company's shares in their demat account by these dates will receive the dividend.
Investors' Eyes on the Next Session
The impact of this news, which came after the market closed, may be visible on Friday, i.e., the next trading session. Usually, when a company announces a dividend, it leads to a rise in the share price, especially if the dividend amount is attractive.
However, it has also been observed that after the record date, the share may fall for a while due to price adjustments, as the dividend amount is adjusted from the share price.
The shares of both companies have performed well in the past year, and now, after the news of the dividend, investors' interest in these stocks may increase further.
Announcement Made Along with Quarterly Results
CE Info Systems and Kaira Can Company announced the dividend in May when they provided details of their quarterly income. However, the record date was not disclosed then. Now, after the record date is fixed, investors will feel more clarity regarding their investment decisions.
Overall, Dividends are Flourishing in the Market
Many companies have recently made announcements related to dividends. The number of dividend-based investors is increasing in the market, and companies are also showing interest in dividend distribution to reassure their investors. The recent announcements by CE Info Systems and Kaira Can Company are another step in this direction.
More such announcements may be seen in the next few days, especially from those companies that have recently presented b quarterly results.
