Bajaj Finance Share Price Falls 90% After Bonus Issue and Stock Split – Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Worry

Bajaj Finance shares opened at ₹956 on June 16, a sharp fall of nearly 90% from the previous close of ₹9,331. But don’t be alarmed—this decline is purely technical and due to a bonus share issue and stock split that took effect today.

Why Did Bajaj Finance Share Price Drop 90%?

The Bajaj Finance share price has been adjusted following two major corporate actions:

✅ Bonus Issue: 4 bonus shares for every 1 share held (Ratio 4:1)
✅ Stock Split: Each share split into 2 shares (Ratio 1:2)

The sharp drop reflects the revised price per share after increasing the number of outstanding shares—not a drop in the company’s actual value.

Impact on Bajaj Finance Shareholders

Here’s what happens if you held 10 shares on the record date (June 16, 2025):

You’ll receive 40 bonus shares
Your total 50 shares will then be split into 100 shares
Your investment value remains the same—only the number of shares and price per share changes

⚠️ Investors buying shares on or after June 16 are not eligible for bonus shares.

Bajaj Finance Dividend Announcement for FY25

Along with the bonus and stock split, Bajaj Finance also announced dividends:

Final Dividend: ₹44 per equity share
Special Interim Dividend: ₹12 per equity share
Total Dividend for FY25: ₹56 per share

Dividend Record Dates:

Special Dividend: May 9, 2025 (Paid on or around May 26)
Final Dividend: May 30, 2025 (To be paid on or around July 28)
