When bonus shares are issued, the stock price drops proportionally on the ex-bonus date to account for the increased number of shares in circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a stock is trading at \u20b9500 and the company announces a 1:1 bonus, the price adjusts to approximately \u20b9250 on the ex-bonus date. You now hold twice the shares at half the price the total value remains the same on that day. This adjustment is done by the exchange automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the price adjusts, it trades freely based on market demand. If the market views the bonus positively as a sign of strong reserves and confidence, the stock may recover and trade higher over time. That depends entirely on market sentiment and the company&#8217;s fundamentals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stock charts are also adjusted retroactively after a bonus issue so the price history reflects the new share count. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":65,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"ht_kb_category":[2859],"ht_kb_tag":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb\/26285"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ht_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/65"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26285"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb\/26285\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26287,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb\/26285\/revisions\/26287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26285"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"ht_kb_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb_category?post=26285"},{"taxonomy":"ht_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb_tag?post=26285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
