Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) recently saw its shares open at a significantly reduced price, reflecting a 50% drop in trading apps due to a bonus share issue. This adjustment, where the stock turned ex-date for a 1:1 bonus issue, caused its price to fall from Rs 2,655.45 to Rs 1,338, misleading some investors into thinking the stock had plummeted in value. Despite this, when adjusted for the bonus shares, RIL’s stock was actually up 0.77%. Bonus shares, which increase the number of outstanding equity shares, inherently dilute the stock price proportionately.

This strategy is often employed to enhance liquidity while impacting the company’s reserves. With this being RIL’s sixth bonus issue and the largest in Indian history, the implications for investors and market sentiment are significant. Analysts maintain a generally positive outlook on RIL, despite challenges in its core refining and petrochemical businesses. The company’s strategic investments in Jio, retail, and green energy initiatives are expected to bolster growth in the coming years, particularly with a focus on new energy ventures.
