5 Stocks To Watch Out For Bonus Shares And Stock Splits In May 2023

We all like weekends. Two days off after a long work week is just what we need. But you know what's better than a weekend? A long weekend! A weekend is good but a long weekend is more fun. Just like people look forward to an extra day off from work, investors also look forward to companies declaring bonus shares and stock splits . A bonus share is an additional share that a company issues to its existing shareholders at no cost, based on the number of shares they already hold. This means that an investor who holds 100 shares of a company receiving a 1:1 bonus share will now hold 200 shares without having to pay anything for the new shares. On the other hand, a stock split is when a company divides its existing shares into multiple shares while maintaining the overall value of the shares. For example, a company that has 1,000 shares trading at Rs 100 per share may decide to split its shares into 2,000 shares trading at Rs 50 per share. Bonus shares and stock splits are exciti

Adani Group Begins $130 Million Debt Buyback, Bonds Rise

Adani Group bonds rose after a key company started the first debt buyback by Indian billionaire Gautam Adani's conglomerate since it was targeted by a short seller in January. Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd. said it plans to buy back as much as $130 million of its July 2024 bonds and similar amounts in each of the next four quarters, as it tries to show that its liquidity position is comfortable, the firm said in stock exchange filing.
