Why Authum Investment & Infrastructure Shares Appear 80% Lower Today: Stock Trades Ex-Bonus

1768226360579.webp
Mumbai, Jan 13, 2026 — Authum Investment & Infrastructure Limited began trading on an ex-bonus basis today following the company’s 4:1 bonus issue. The share price appears sharply lower on charts, reflecting a technical adjustment of about 80%, as the equity base expands post bonus.
A 4:1 bonus means shareholders receive four additional shares for every one share held, increasing the total shares outstanding fivefold. Accordingly, the per-share price adjusts to roughly one-fifth of the pre-bonus level, while the company’s market capitalisation remains unchanged.

What Triggered the Adjustment​

The bonus issue (4:1) became effective on January 13, 2026. Post adjustment, prices shown on trading apps and exchange screens reflect the expanded share count, not a loss in value.
Key takeaway: This is a valuation-neutral corporate action intended to enhance liquidity and improve affordability for a wider investor base.
