KSE Share Price Appears Down 90% as Stock Trades Ex-Split Following Face Value Adjustment from ₹10 to ₹1

Thrissur, India – October 28, 2025: KSE Limited’s share price (BSE: 519421) appeared down close to 90% in early trading today as the stock started trading ex-split after its face value was adjusted from ₹10 to ₹1 per share. The share opened close to ₹269.85 from its pre-split closing of ₹2,698.35 on October 27, 2025. However, the decline is purely technical, as the company’s market capitalisation remains unchanged while the number of outstanding shares has increased tenfold.

Purpose of the Stock Split

The split of the shares, effective October 28, 2025, was carried out to reduce the cost of KSE Limited’s shares and enhance liquidity in the market. By splitting each ₹10 share into ten ₹1 shares, the company is hoping to encourage more retail investors and improve market participation without impacting overall values.

Post-Split Market Snapshot

After adjustment, the stock was at an adjusted reference price of around ₹269.80 a share – down technically by around 90%. Contrary to the seeming fall, KSE’s overall market capitalisation remains unchanged at ₹863.47 crore, establishing that the change is merely structural and valuation-neutral.
