Chennai, July 9, 2025 – According to a regulatory filing under SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, Ashok Leyland Ltd (NSE: ASHOKLEY, BSE: 500477) has set July 16, 2025, as the record date for its 1:1 bonus share issue.
Shareholders will get one fully paid equity share worth ₹1 for every share they already own. The shares will be given out on July 17, and they will be allowed to trade them starting on July 18. This is the business’s first bonus issue since 2011. It shows that the company is confident because it had a strong performance net profit for the fourth quarter of FY25 rose 38% year-on-year to ₹1,246 crore, and the board also issued a ₹6.25 per share interim dividend.
Even though the company had good finances and paid out dividends to shareholders, the stock was mostly steady at roughly ₹250, with a small gain of 0.07% as of today. Analysts are still cautiously bullish, with a 12-month consensus goal of ₹267, backed by 36 “Buy” calls.
Investors who own the company by July 16 will get both bonus shares and dividends that are paid out sooner. This could be a good chance for long-term investors to make money.
