Bonus Bonanza: Motherson Group Stocks Trade Ex-Bonus as Record Date Kicks In

Shares of Samvardhana Motherson International Ltd (SAMIL) and Motherson Sumi Wiring India Ltd began trading ex-bonus today, July 18, 2025, following their previously announced 1:2 bonus share issuance. This means shareholders who held shares as of July 17 are eligible to receive one bonus share for every two shares owned.

 

Key highlights from the bonus issue:

 

Bonus Ratio and Eligibility:

- Both companies declared a 1:2 bonus issue, marking the 11th for SAMIL since 2000 and the second for Motherson Sumi since 2022.

- Investors needed to purchase shares by July 17 to qualify, as per India’s T+1 settlement cycle.

 

Share Price Adjustment:

- With the ex-bonus status in effect, share prices have been adjusted downward to reflect the increased share count.

- Despite the price dip, the overall investment value remains unchanged due to proportional ownership.

 

Strategic Intent:

- The bonus issue is aimed at enhancing liquidity and rewarding long-term shareholders.

- It also signals confidence in future growth, especially as SAMIL continues to expand its global footprint in auto components.

 

Trading Timeline:

- Bonus shares will be allotted on July 21 and made available for trading from July 22.

- Investors purchasing shares from July 18 onward will not be eligible for this round of bonus shares.
