Markets continued their upward trend for the second consecutive session on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, amid positive global cues. However, equity benchmark indices are expected to open on a flat note, with early signals from Gift Nifty around 23,625 indicating a lack of strong directional momentum. Amid this volatility, there is an opportunity for investors to earn some additional profit from their investment as the State-owned Power Finance Corporation (PFC) has announced its fourth interim dividend. To be eligible for a corporate action, investors must buy the stock before the ex-date, which is generally 1-2 days before the record date. While the ex-date is when the stock traded without dividend rights, the record date is when the company checks its records for stockholders.
