Why does the market price reduce after a Bonus Issue?

Why does the market price reduce after a Bonus Issue? 

The market price is adjusted to account for the additional shares issued under the bonus issue. A lower displayed price after the adjustment does not necessarily represent a corresponding loss in investment value. 

Example: 

  • Before a 1:1 Bonus Issue: ₹600 per share 

  • After the bonus adjustment: approximately ₹300 per share 

  • 100 shares become 200 shares, while the overall value remains broadly equivalent immediately after the adjustment, subject to market movement. 

Important to remember: 

The revised market price should always be viewed along with the revised share quantity.
