Bonus shares have become a hot topic among investors as several companies are rewarding shareholders with additional shares, signaling financial stability and confidence in their future growth prospects. A bonus share is essentially an additional share issued to existing shareholders free of cost, in proportion to their current holdings. Companies typically issue them from accumulated profits or reserves as a way to reward investors without making cash payouts.
The flurry of bonus announcements in recent weeks has sparked stronger investor interest, as these corporate actions not only improve liquidity in the stock but also indicate management’s optimistic outlook.
