Shares of Thyrocare Technologies, a leading healthcare diagnostics company, seemed to plunge by more than 67% during Friday’s session, November 28, surprising many investors who noticed the steep drop in their demat accounts.
However, this sharp fall was not due to any market correction or external factors but a result of the company’s 2:1 bonus issue, which came into effect today, tripling the number of shares held by investors while adjusting the stock price accordingly, without affecting the overall value of their holdings.
The shares closed at ₹1,473.90 on Thursday, November 27. On Friday, the stock opened at ₹501, reflecting the 2:1 bonus share adjustment, which tripled the number of shares and adjusted the price to ₹491 per share, effectively showing a 66.63% drop from the previous day’s closing price.
The bonus issue effectively tripled the number of outstanding equity shares and adjusted the price accordingly.
Following the price adjustment, the stock saw some minor pullback, trading at ₹489, a 0.60% decline as of 2:00 p.m.
The company had announced the bonus issue in a 2:1 ratio and an interim dividend, along with its Q2 FY26 results in mid-October, and set today as the record date to determine shareholder eligibility.
Companies generally announce bonus issues to improve share liquidity and make the stock more affordable for retail investors, who often consider the stock expensive when it trades at higher prices.
