Bajaj Finance’s stock split and bonus issue latest news

Here’s the latest on Bajaj Finance’s stock split and bonus issue:

• Record Date: June 16, 2025 is the cutoff to qualify for both the stock split and bonus shares .

• Stock Split: 1:2 ratio – every existing share of face value ₹2 will be split into two shares of ₹1 each, doubling the share count .

• Bonus Issue: 4:1 ratio – for every one share held, investors will receive four extra bonus shares .

📌 Net Effect: Holders will see their share count increase fivefold (1 → 2 via split and 4 bonus = total 10 shares per original share) .

Why It Matters

• Liquidity & Affordability: The combination makes shares more accessible to retail investors and boosts trading liquidity .

• Shareholder Reward: Supplementing with a bonus issue is a tangible return to shareholders .

• Positive Signal: Reflects strong FY25 performance, robust AUM, profits, and cash reserves .

• Dividend Update

  In addition to the split and bonus:

  • Special Interim Dividend: ₹12 per share (record date May 9, paid ~May 26) .

  • Final Dividend: ₹44 per share (record date May 30, paid ~July 28) .

  ➡️ Total dividend payout: ₹56 per share for FY25 .

  Impact on Investors

  If you held 1 share before June 16, 2025, here’s what happens:

  1. Stock Split: Your 1 share becomes 2 shares.

  2. Bonus Issue: You receive 4 bonus shares → total 6 shares.

  3. However, many reports (and ET Markets) clarify it results in 10 shares total—combining the post-split and bonus effect .

  4. Total shares = 10, while investment value remains the same (price adjusts accordingly).
