Companies Announced Bonus Shares in November 2022

Bonus shares are an opportunity for investors to bolster their equity portfolio with additional stocks. Sometimes companies need more funds to issue dividends despite earning good profits. Instead, they announce bonus shares to investors. These shares are issued to existing shareholders without additional costs based on the number of shares held by the investor. In November 2022, several company stocks are going to trade ex-dividend. Let’s find out which companies have announced bonus shares in 2022. 

What is a bonus share?

Here is a recapitulation of ‘what is a bonus share?’ before we begin our discussion.

When companies don’t pay dividends, they instead issue bonus shares. These are the company’s accumulated earnings which aren’t paid as dividends but converted into free shares and distributed among investors. 

Bonus shares help companies increase their equity base and encourage retail participation. When a company’s share price rises exponentially, it becomes difficult for new investors to buy them. Bonus shares increase the number of shares available in the market and help lower the share price. But the company’s overall market capitalization value remains intact. 

Companies follow the fixed ratio method to issue bonus shares. For instance, if the company declares 4:1 bonus shares and you hold 200 shares of the company, you will get four bonus shares for each share you own. 

Advantages of bonus shares 

• Investors don’t have to pay any tax for the bonus issues.
• It helps bolster your portfolio. 
• It is helpful for long-term investors who want to increase their participation in the company.
• Bonus shares enhance the faith of investors that the company is growing.

• It is usually positive news in the market that the company is preparing for long-term growth.
• Bonus shares increase the liquidity in the market.
