Let’s begin by understanding: what is a bonus share?
Here is your definition if you are a new investor learning about bonus shares for the first time.
As the name suggests, bonus shares are additional shares given to investors without additional costs. The number of shares a shareholder will receive depends on the number of shares he owns. Bonus shares are companies’ accumulated earnings converted into free shares.
Bonus shares increase the total number of shares and reduce the price per share. Companies announce bonus shares to encourage retail participation and increase the number of individual investors in the company.
Bonus shares are issued as a constant ratio of the number of shares held by individuals.
Suppose you hold 200 shares, and the company announces bonus shares at the ratio of 4:1, meaning one bonus share for every four shares. You will receive a total of fifty bonus shares.
