First bonus since demerger for Motherson Sumi Wiring
Motherson Sumi Wiring, the demerged entity of Samvardhana Motherson, also implemented a 1:2 bonus issue, its first since listing. The record date was also July 18.
Shares of Motherson Sumi Wiring closed at Rs 64.40 on Thursday and opened at Rs 43.70 on Friday, implying a 32% decline on paper, again, a direct outcome of the bonus adjustment. The stock was up 2.5% in early trade.
The bonus ratio entitles shareholders to one bonus share for every two shares held. For instance, an investor with 100 shares will receive 50 bonus shares, increasing their total holdings to 150.
No change in investment value
Although the per-share price appears to have dropped significantly on paper, investors have not lost any value. The total worth of their holdings remains unchanged as the number of shares increases to offset the reduced price.
For example, a shareholder holding 300 shares of Motherson Sumi Wiring at Rs 60 apiece, a total value of Rs 18,000, will now hold 450 shares priced at approximately Rs 40 each, maintaining the same overall investment value.
