Three Indian Stocks Offering Bonus Shares in September: What You Should Know
Share this article:
Bonus share announcements often attract extra attention from investors. They offer companies a way to reward existing shareholders without paying cash, while also potentially making shares more affordable per unit by increasing supply. As we move into late September 2025, three companies stand out with firm bonus share plans. These actions underline confidence in their business health, even as markets remain volatile. Retail investors, especially, should watch the record and ex-bonus dates. Getting in cum‑bonus can be critical if you want the extra shares. Below are the key details and potential implications for each of these three stocks.
Pidilite, known for brands like Fevicol, M‑Seal, and Dr Fixit, has approved a bonus issue in a 1:1 ratio. This means for every share you currently own (fully paid up), you will receive one additional share for free.
The record date for eligibility is September 23, 2025; the ex‑bonus date is the same. If you buy shares on or after the ex-date, you will not qualify.
This bonus issue also comes with a rise in authorized share capital. The company has sufficient reserves to support it, including retained earnings, securities premium, and others.
Investors should note that while bonus shares do not bring immediate extra value (because total value is diluted by the increased share count), they often improve liquidity, reduce the per‑share price, and can attract fresh interest. Pidilite’s recent profit growth adds further confidence.
Sandur Manganese & Iron Ores: Generous 2‑for‑1 Ratio
Sandur Manganese & Iron Ores Ltd (SMIORE) has received in‑principle approval from exchanges for a bonus issue in a 2:1 ratio; investors will get two fully paid shares for every one share held.
The record date and ex‑bonus date are both September 22, 2025. Anyone buying on or after that date will miss the bonus. The face value of the shares is ₹10 each, and the proposal involves issuing over 32.4 crore new shares.
Sandur has already delivered strong long‑term returns; over five years, the stock returned nearly 1,100%. Such performance makes this bonus issue especially noteworthy.
On the flip side, after the bonus, the per‑share market price will adjust downward (roughly in proportion to the bonus ratio). While the number of shares doubles or triples, ownership percentage remains unchanged. For long-term investors with conviction, this is often a benefit; for short-term traders, timing is critical.
Time Technoplast: Scaling Up with a 1‑for‑1 Bonus
Time Technoplast Ltd is also set to issue bonus shares in a 1:1 ratio. Shareholders will receive one extra share for every share held.
The record/ex‑bonus date for Time Technoplast is September 23, 2025. To qualify, shares must be held before that date.
The company operates in polymer-based products, serving sectors like industrial packaging, infrastructure, and automotive. Bonus issues in such heavy manufacturing and industrial consumption-linked companies often serve as signals of confidence.
Investors should also watch market reactions carefully; stocks can experience volatility around the ex‑bonus date, with short-term corrections possible before a recovery. Understanding support and resistance levels may help.
Bonus shares don’t add cash to your pocket immediately, but they reflect a company’s healthy balance sheet and intent to reward long-term shareholders. For companies like Pidilite, Sandur Manganese, and Time Technoplast, these issues can also increase trading volume and improve affordability for small investors. However, it’s crucial to remember that share prices adjust post-bonus, and the real value lies in the company’s future growth and performance. If you’re considering buying in, timing matters, but so does your conviction in the business. Use this opportunity to reassess your portfolio; if the fundamentals align, these bonus shares could be a sweetener to your long-term investment plan.
