From just 2857 quantities purchased initially, the quantity grew to 38.44 times just through the bonus issue, reaching 1,09,833 shares.

bonus issues always excite investors because they provide additional shares at no cost, based on the ratio announced by the company and the holding as of the required date. When a company announces that the board will consider a bonus issue, investors often try to buy the company’s shares or accumulate them if they already own them, in order to receive the additional shares offered by the company as a bonus issue.

In this article, we will analyze a Large-Cap auto component manufacturing company that has distributed almost 9 times bonus shares to its investors. The company's shares are currently trading at around Rs 126 per share on the BSE. The last issue was announced in 2022, according to the latest available details, with a ratio of 1:2. This means that for every 2 shares investors held in their account, they would receive 1 additional share.
