The shares of Container Corporation of India Ltd, which is a leading NAVRATNA PSU, are in focus after it fell by 21% on Friday. In this article, we will dive into the details of what led the stock to fall so sharply.
With a market capitalisation of Rs 45,663 crores, the shares of Container Corporation of India Ltd are currently trading at Rs 600 per share. Over the past five years, the stock has delivered a return of 39 percent.
The stock declined today because it is trading ex-bonus. This means that the price has been adjusted for the bonus issue, and the stock is now ex-bonus. The company had set July 4, 2025, as the record date for its 1:4 bonus issue. Shareholders will receive 1 additional share for every 4 shares they own.
A bonus issue is often announced to make the stock cheaper, boost liquidity and reward shareholders. While it doesn’t change the overall value of an investor’s holding, it increases the number of shares, keeping the face value unchanged . This makes the stock more appealing and accessible to a larger group of investors.
