Linc Limited shares will trade ex-date today, December 20, following two significant corporate announcements: a stock split and a bonus issue. Both corporate actions will impact shareholders starting from today.
The company has announced the subdivision (or split) of its equity shares. Each existing equity share with a face value of ₹10 will be split into two (2) equity shares of ₹5 each, fully paid-up. This action will effectively double the number of shares in circulation while reducing the nominal value of each share.
Linc Limited has also approved a bonus issue in a 1:1 ratio. This means that for every existing fully paid-up equity share of Rs 5, shareholders will receive one new fully paid-up equity share of ₹5 at no additional cost. Both the record date and the ex-date for these corporate actions have been fixed as December 20, 2024.
In Q2FY25, Linc Limited reported a 14% year-on-year (Y-o-Y) increase in profit after tax (PAT), which rose to ₹879 crore from ₹771 crore in Q2FY24. The company’s total income grew by 3.1% Y-o-Y, reaching ₹13,728 crore in Q2FY25, compared to ₹13,315 crore in the same quarter of the previous year (Q2FY24).
Linc’s operating performance also showed positive growth, with earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) rising by 12.2% annually to ₹1,630 crore in Q2FY25, up from ₹1,452 crore in Q2FY24. As a result of the higher EBITDA, the company’s EBITDA margin expanded by 97 basis points (bps), increasing to 11.9% in Q2FY25 from 10.9% in Q2FY24. This indicates improved operational efficiency.
