Questions about Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited's bonus issues and splits
- When did Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited last issue bonus shares?
- The latest bonus issue on record has an ex-date of 21 Jun 2024: 1 new share for every 1 held, with a record date of 22 Jun 2024. Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited has had 4 bonus issues on record.
- Has Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited split its shares?
- There is no stock split (face value sub-division) in the records we hold since 2005.
- How many shares would one share held before the first event be today?
- One share held just before the 13 Jul 2012 ex-date would have become 12 shares after every bonus and split on record. This counts shares only; it says nothing about the price or value.
- Does a bonus issue or a split change the value of a holding?
- At the moment it happens the number of shares goes up and the share price adjusts by roughly the same proportion, so the total value of the shares held is about the same. The table shows the closing price before the ex-date and on it.
- What is the difference between a bonus issue and a stock split?
- A bonus issue gives existing holders extra shares from the company's reserves, in a ratio such as 1 for every 1 held. A split divides each share into more shares of a lower face value, such as ₹10 into ₹2. Both increase the number of shares; neither brings money into the company.
- What does the ex-date mean for a bonus or split?
- The ex-date is the first day the shares trade without the entitlement. To receive bonus shares a holder must have bought before the ex-date; a split applies to the shares held and the price adjusts on that date.
How to read this page
A bonus issue gives holders extra shares at a ratio, such as 1:1, which is 1 new share for every 1 held. A split divides each share into more shares of a lower face value, such as ₹10 to ₹2, which is 5 shares for each one. Both raise the number of shares and bring no money into the company.
"Shares per share held" is the number of shares one share becomes at that event. The two closing prices let you see the price adjust on the ex-date; a ratio shows up as a price roughly in proportion. Other price moves on the day are not separated out.
Limits to keep in mind
- The record comes from NSE corporate actions, which start in 2005; the oldest entries can be incomplete.
- An event announced but not yet gone ex-date does not appear until its ex-date.
- Closing prices are as traded; a blank means no price is held for that day.
- Past corporate actions do not indicate future ones.
