There are several reasons why companies issue bonus shares:
Bonus shares are exempt from taxation, and they increase the number of shares an investor owns in the company. This can lead to higher profits if investors sell their bonus shares to generate cash.
Market capitalisation is the total value of all of a company’s outstanding shares. Bonus shares simply increase the number of shares outstanding, but they do not change the total value of those shares.
However, bonus shares can lead to a decrease in share prices. This is because the company is issuing more shares without much change in its revenues. This increases the supply of shares, which can drive down prices.
