Bonus shares are extra shares given to existing shareholders at no additional cost, depending on the number of shares they already hold. Companies typically issue bonus shares as a way to distribute accumulated profits or reserves, serving as a sign of the company’s financial stability and growth potential.
For example, with a 1:1 bonus issue, a shareholder will receive one extra share for each share they own. So, if an investor holds 50 shares, they would get 50 additional bonus shares. While this action increases the total share count, which may lower the stock price, it allows shareholders to own more equity in the company.
