Synopsis: Upcoming week, multiple small-cap, micro-cap, and penny stocks will go ex-bonus and ex-split, adjusting share quantities and prices, potentially impacting trading strategies, liquidity, and short-term market movements for investors.
Next week, several stocks will go ex-bonus and ex-split, attracting attention from traders and investors looking to capitalize on price adjustments and potential liquidity changes. Such corporate actions often influence short-term market movements and trading strategies.
Bonus Shares
A bonus share is an additional share issued free of cost to existing shareholders in proportion to the number of shares they already hold. Companies issue bonus shares by converting their accumulated reserves or profits into share capital, instead of distributing cash dividends. This increases the total number of shares held by investors, but the overall investment value remains the same immediately after the issue because the share price adjusts accordingly.
Example
In a 1:1 bonus issue, a shareholder holding 100 shares will receive 100 additional shares, taking the total holding to 200 shares. If the share price before the bonus was ₹200, the total investment value would be ₹20,000 (100 × ₹200). After the bonus, the price may adjust to around ₹100 per share, and the total value would remain approximately ₹20,000 (200 × ₹100).
Stock Split
A stock split is a corporate action where a company divides its existing shares into multiple shares to increase liquidity and make them more affordable. Unlike a bonus issue, a stock split does not involve transferring reserves; it simply reduces the face value of each share while increasing the number of shares proportionately. The overall market capitalization and the investor’s total investment value remain unchanged.
Example
In a 1:2 stock split, one share with a face value of ₹10 is split into two shares with a face value of ₹5 each. If an investor holds 100 shares priced at ₹300 each (total value ₹30,000), after the split they will hold 200 shares priced at around ₹150 each. The total investment value remains ₹30,000, but the lower price per share improves affordability and trading liquidity.
