Stock split

Information Technology (IT) company Coforge has announced a stock split such that the existing one equity share having a face value of ₹10 will be split into five shares of ₹2 each. The company has fixed the record date for the stock split as June 4, 2025, for determining the entitlement of shareholders for the purpose of split.

Bonus issue

Additionally, Shalibhadra Finance is expected to be in focus as it has announced a bonus issue in the ratio of 3:1. This means that shareholders will receive 3 bonus shares for every 1 share they already hold, provided they own the shares as of the record date, which is also June 4, 2025.

Rights issue

Franklin Industries has announced a rights issue involving 48,20,00,000 equity shares with a face value of ₹1 each, amounting to a total issue size of ₹48,20,00,000 crore. 

 

A rights issue is a way for a company to raise additional capital by offering new shares to its existing shareholders, usually at a discounted price, in proportion to their current holdings.

 

The ex-date marks the day a stock starts trading without the eligibility for dividends, bonus shares, stock splits, or rights issues. This means that investors who purchase the stock on or after the ex-date will not be entitled to these benefits. To be eligible, an investor must hold the stock before the ex-date. However, the final list of beneficiaries for dividends, stock splits, or rights issues is prepared by the company based on shareholders recorded at the close of the record date.
