The board of directors of Nestle India Limited has determined that January 5, 2024, will be the record date for the 1:10 stock split. Thus, from one Nestle India share, which has a face value of Rs. 10, ten shares, each valued at Rs. 1, will be produced.
Nestle India announced the stock split record date. “Pursuant to Regulation 42 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, this is to inform you that the company has fixed Friday, January 5, 2024, as the “record date” for determining the entitlement of equity shareholders for the purpose of subdividing or splitting existing equity shares of the company,” the company said.
The Nestle India board purposely lowered the stock price. Since trading is expected to increase, the share price should steady at around Rs 2,700 per share once the stock divides 1:10. Nestle India shares traded at Rs 27,150 on the NSE on Thursday.
Profitability rose 36% YoY to Rs 908 crore in Nestle India’s Q2FY24 data, despite revenues rising 9.6% to Rs 5,036 crore.
