Other Stocks Set to go Ex-Bonus and Ex-Split in August 2025

Apart from the 4 mentioned above, MCX and Adani Power are scheduled to meet on 1 August 2025 to consider and approve their respective stock splits.

Conclusion

It can be tempting to invest in stocks that are going ex-split or ex-bonus.

But a stock split or bonus does not change the underlying value of your investment. It's like cutting the cake into more pieces rather than increasing the size of the cake.

These actions often indicate the confidence of management and can improve liquidity or make stock more economical for retail investors, which can sometimes increase stock interest.

However, they should not be the only reason to invest. It's important to see a big picture, how strong the company is, how it's growing, and if it fits your investment goals.

To make informed decisions, it's crucial to assess the company's fundamentals, including its financial performance, corporate governance practices, and growth prospects, rather than relying solely on the allure of bonus shares and stock splits.
