Hurry Up, Only 1 Day Left For Record Date! Pidilite Industries To Trade Ex-Dividend On 13 Aug For Rs 10; Buy?

In India, Pidilite Industries Limited is a top producer of polymer emulsions, building chemicals, adhesives and sealants, and craftsman's products. The company's Fevicol brand is one of the most reputable in India and M-Seal, Fevikwik, Fevistik, Roff, Dr. Fixit, Araldite, and Fevicryl are a few of the other well-known products.

Pidilite Industries is going to grab attention because on August 13th, the stock will trade ex-dividend, meaning that investors who owned the shares on the record date will be entitled to receive the dividend. Today's session is expected to see Pidilite on the radars of traders and dividend seekers due to the dual triggers of ex-dividend activity and the anticipation around Independence Day week.

An important event for investors is the August 13th ex-dividend trading of Pidilite Industries' shares, which determines who is eligible to receive the declared dividend of Rs 10 per share. An investor must have bought the shares at least one day prior to the ex-dividend date, which is before the end of the trading day on August 12th, in order to be a shareholder of record and capture the dividend because India has a T+1 settlement cycle.

Thus anyone who purchases the shares on or after August 13th will not be eligible. Today, August 12, 2025, Pidilite Industries is in focus as it is the last day for investors to buy the stock to be eligible for the Rs 10 dividend.

Pidilite Industries Dividend

A special interim dividend of Rs. 10/-per equity share of Re. 1/-each for the financial year 2025-2026 was announced by the Board of Directors at its meeting on August 6.

"The record date for determining the eligibility of Members entitled to receive the said Special Interim Dividend is Wednesday, 13th August, 2025. The Special Interim Divided shall be paid to the eligible Shareholders on Friday, 29th August, 2025," said Pidilite Industries in a statement.

Pidilite Industries Upcoming Bonus Shares

At the same meeting, the Board additionally recommended issuing bonus equity shares in the ratio of 1:1, meaning that for every fully paid-up equity share of Re. 1/- that each member owned on the Record Date—which would be announced separately—one equity share of Re. 1/- would be issued.

50,86,69,085 equity shares of face value of Re.1/- each amounting to Rs. 50,86,69,085/- is the total number of securities proposed to be issued or the total amount for which the securities will be issued as a part of the bonus share plan by Pidilite Industries.

Within 2 months from the date of approval by the Board of Directors, i.e. on or before 3rd October, 2025 the bonus shares are expected to be dispatched or credited.

Pidilite Industries Target Price

"Pidilite Industries is trading with a bullish undertone, holding firm above ₹3,050 support. The stock faces resistance at ₹3,130, and a close above this could open the path toward ₹3,180-₹3,200 in the short term. The overall trend remains positive, supported by higher lows and sustained volume activity. Momentum indicators are in bullish territory, suggesting the potential for continuation. Buying on dips near ₹3,060-₹3,070 with a stop-loss at ₹3,040 is recommended for traders looking to capture a short-term breakout opportunity," commented Riyank Arora, technical analyst at Mehta Equities Ltd.
