Synopsis: Life Insurance Corporation of India, PAE, F Mec International Financial Services, and IB Infotech Enterprises will remain in focus next week after announcing bonus shares and stock split corporate actions.

Bonus shares are additional shares distributed free to current shareholders using a company’s accumulated reserves. They reflect the company’s strong financial position and reward shareholder confidence. Although the total investment value does not change, investors receive a higher number of shares, which can improve stock liquidity.

A stock split reduces the face value of existing shares by dividing them into multiple smaller shares, increasing the total share count. While the overall investment value stays unchanged, lower share prices make trading more accessible for investors. Many companies have recently announced such corporate actions to enhance market participation and showcase financial stability. Here are the companies to watch in the coming week that have announced a bonus share and stock split:
