Motherson Sumi Wiring To Go Ex-Bonus — What Should Investors Do?
Motherson Sumi Wiring investors will get two shares for every five they hold.
Motherson Sumi Wiring India Ltd. had announced a bonus issue recently. If you buy before Nov. 16, which is the ex-bonus date, you will be eligible for bonus shares. If you purchase the shares on ex-bonus date, then they won't be credited to your account on record date as the settlement takes two days (T+2).
The company had announced Nov. 17 as the 'record date' for the bonus issue in the ratio of 2:5; which means shareholders will get two shares for every five they hold. Bonus shares will be issued from the retained earnings, which stood at Rs 404.5 crore as on March 31.
The company has a joint venture with Japan's Sumitomo Wiring Systems Ltd. and is a market leader in wiring harnesses, harness components, and other electric wires. The company has 45-50% share in the domestic market.
Motherson Sumi Wiring was formed when the domestic wiring harness business was spun off from Motherson Sumi Systems Ltd. with effect from Jan. 5. Since listing, the stock is up 29% and is up 48% from its 52-week low.
