BSE Ltd. share price rose to a one-month high during early trade on Tuesday, after the board approved issuing two bonus shares for every share its investors hold.

The approval makes this BSE’s second bonus share issue in three years. In February 2022, the exchange issued bonus shares in the same ratio, giving investors two additional shares for every share held.

The record date for determining eligible shareholders will be announced later.

The bonus issue comes at a time when the company’s shares have risen over 100% in the past 12 months. Since its listing in 2017, the stock has increased over 15 times.

Besides, since its listing, BSE has issued dividends 22 times and bonus shares twice.
