Info Edge Announces May 7 as Record Date for 1:5 Stock Split

Info Edge (India), the parent company of Naukri.com and a key stakeholder in Zomato, has announced May 7, 2025, as the record date for its previously declared stock split. The decision was confirmed through an exchange filing following shareholder approval via postal ballots on April 11.

1:5 Stock Split to Enhance Liquidity

The board-approved stock split will divide each existing equity share of face value ₹10 into five shares of ₹2 each. According to the company, all new shares will carry the same rights and privileges as the original shares.

The move is expected to enhance liquidity and attract more retail participation by making the stock more affordable. The last time Info Edge rewarded its shareholders in a similar fashion was through bonus issues in 2010 and 2012, both in the ratio of 1:1.

Dividend History and Stock Performance

Over the past three years, Info Edge has paid a total dividend of ₹66 per share to its shareholders, reflecting a consistent focus on rewarding long-term investors.

On April 12, 2025 shares of Info Edge closed 2.2% higher at ₹6,550. While the stock has traded relatively flat over the last month, it remains down by 25% year-to-date in 2025, underperforming the broader indices.

Conclusion

The upcoming stock split by Info Edge is expected to improve liquidity and attract more retail investors by making shares more affordable.

Despite the recent dip of 25% in its stock price in 2025, the company’s consistent dividend payout and past bonus issues highlight its commitment to rewarding shareholders. The split could offer a short-term boost if market conditions improve.
