A bonus share is an additional share issued free of cost to current shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings. Companies usually distribute these shares from accumulated profits or reserves, allowing them to reward investors without paying out cash.
A stock split, on the other hand, increases the total number of shares by dividing each existing share into smaller units while lowering its face value. This move does not change overall investment worth but makes shares more affordable, improves liquidity, and attracts more retail participation.
Recently, several companies have announced bonus shares and stock splits, reflecting strong financial health and confidence in future growth, which has drawn increased investor interest.
