@Aguy,
I think bonussses do not necessarily increase intrinsic share value, infact it should have zero effect on immediate value. but yes, psychologically it can cause some misguided interpretation and affect share price value.

i meant the entity that got 200k shares, if there's a bonus of 1:4. They sell the new shares how much is that in cash! Even if the price stays where it is. 50K bonus share multiplied by 150 bob. Thats a cool 7.5m.
The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

The market price of the shares at the time of the bonus will come down by a factor of the bonus issue once the share start selling ex bonus
Ideally a bonus issue does not change a companys valuation..
Therefore that profit of 7.5M can only be a mirage in the immediate aftermath of a bonus issue

moneydust, I was looking at Centum on the Wazua NSE Performance Calculator. It issued bonus shares last year. When they started trading, the prices didn't move too much. In fact, it was fairly stable. I think a drop in share prices after a bonus issue will depend on if demand will continue to be sustained as a result of the improving fortunes of a business. It is not a given that the price will drop by a factor of the bonus

I agree...in centum, though the price dropped slightly after the share went ex bonus..the bonus shares issued were few and coupled with the increased demand resulted in the share surpassing its pre bonus price..
