Several key corporate actions by Bharat Rasayan have prompted investor interest:
📌 What’s being done
- Bharat Rasayan will issue a 1:1 bonus — i.e. every shareholder will receive one extra share for every share they currently own.
- At the same time, a 1:2 stock split will be implemented: each existing share with a face value of ₹10 will be split into two shares with a face value of ₹5.
📅 Important dates
- The record date for eligibility is December 12, 2025. To be eligible for the bonus and split, one must own the shares by the end of trading on December 11, 2025.
- Bonus shares are expected to be credited by December 15, 2025, and they should begin trading from December 16, 2025.
✅ What this means for shareholders
- The total number of shares you hold will increase — first by the split (so every 1 share becomes 2), then by the bonus (you get 1 extra share for each share held). So effectively, for every 1 old share, you will end up with 2 (from split) + 2 (bonus on those 2) = 4 shares post-actions.
- Face value per share reduces (from ₹10 to ₹5), and market price per share will adjust accordingly.
- Your overall investment value remains the same immediately after — market cap doesn’t change.
- However, because there are more shares at a lower price, the stock becomes more liquid and affordable, which may attract retail investors.
💡 Why companies do this (and what to watch out for)
- Bonus issues signal strength: issuing bonus shares suggests the company has built up reserves and is confident in its fundamentals.
- Stock splits make the shares more accessible to smaller investors — sometimes boosting demand and liquidity.
- That said, neither action changes company fundamentals. Post-split/bonus, the earnings-per-share (EPS) and book-value per share will be adjusted downward (since more shares are outstanding), so it’s important to evaluate the company on fundamentals — not just share-count boost.
