2 bonus issues, 2 stock splits: These multibaggers to be in focus tomorrow

Ex-date is one day prior to the record date of a company's corporate actions such as dividends, bonus issues, stock splits, and rights issues among others.

Bonus shares are issued in a certain portion by a company to existing shareholders. These shares are free of cost for investors as they are a form of incentive given by the company. Notably, face value remains the same post-bonus issue. Among the benefits of bonus issue are --- increase in the number of outstanding equity shares; reduces the share price of a stock; reduces free reserves and surplus of a company; creates implicit value per equity share; and raises liquidity in equity shares.

In regards to stock split, already owned equity shares are sub-divided in a certain proportion which is decided by a company to improve liquidity by breaking it into a smaller sizes. The face value of a stock gets trimmed as well. After the stock split, a stock becomes affordable.
