Shares of small-cap multibagger stock Algoquant Fintech skyrocketed 19 percent to reach a record high of ₹91.70 on Monday, August 18. The surge coincided with the record date for two significant corporate actions by the company: an 8:1 bonus issue and a 2-for-1 stock split. These measures are designed to reward existing shareholders and improve liquidity, reflecting management’s confidence in the firm’s long-term growth prospects.
Bonus Issue in 8:1 Ratio
Algoquant Fintech had earlier announced a bonus issue in the ratio of 8:1, meaning shareholders will receive eight fully paid-up equity shares of ₹1 each for every one share held. The bonus shares are being issued by capitalising the company’s free reserves, subject to shareholder approval. This action effectively rewards existing investors without requiring any additional investment, offering them more shares proportionate to their holdings and enhancing overall shareholder value.
“This is to inform you that the Company has fixed August 18, 2025, as the Record Date for Issuance of Bonus Shares in the ratio of 8:1, i.e., 8 (eight) new fully paid-up equity shares of Rs. 1/- (Rupees One only) each for every 1 (one) existing fully paid-up equity share of Rs. 1/- (Rupees One only) each.” as per the exchange filing.
Stock Split from ₹2 to ₹1
Alongside the bonus issue, Algoquant Fintech declared a stock split, wherein each share with a face value of ₹2 will be split into two equity shares of ₹1 each. This marks the company’s second-ever stock split, following its 5:1 split in December 2021.
“Pursuant to the provisions of Regulation 42 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (the “Listing Regulations”) and other applicable provisions, this is to inform you that the Company has fixed August 18, 2025, as the Record Date for the subdivision/split of each equity share of face value of Rs. 2/- (Rupees Two only) each, fully paid-up, into 2 (two) equity shares of face value of Rs. 1/- (Rupees One only) each, fully paid-up,” the company said in an exchange filing.
The stock split will double the number of shares in circulation, making the stock more affordable for smaller investors and potentially increasing market liquidity. Both the bonus issue and the stock split signal management’s confidence and a strategy to make the stock more accessible and attractive to a wider investor base.
