KPI stock is currently over Rs 1,880 levels, and has touched a 52-week high and low of Rs 2,109.25 and Rs 320.83 apiece respectively. KPI has never sub-divided its share price, but has a history of rewarding investors with bonus issues and dividends. A stock split is just the cherries required to make KPI Green shares attractive.

KPI Green Energy Stock Split:

As per the regulatory filing, KPI's board of directors are scheduled to meet on Thursday, May 23, 2024, to consider and approve the proposal for alteration in the capital of the Company by subdivision/split of existing equity shares of the Company having a face value of Rs. 10/- each, fully paid up.

This will be KPI's first-ever stock split if announced on May 23.

Although the details of stock splits are yet to be known, but some of the popular stock splits ratio in the market are 1:10, 1:5, 1:2, and 1:1. But it is up to the listed companies to decide their stock splits ratio.

A 1:10 ratio means that 1 existing share will be subdivided into 10 new shares. Similarly, a 1:5 and 1:2 stock splits ratio means 1 existing per share will be split into five and two new shares. The case is the same for the 1:1 stock splits ratio as well.

Generally, share splits mean that listed companies can split their existing shares into a ratio decided by them for a host of reasons. These could be done to improve liquidity, lessen the value of the stock, make it cheaper or simply attract new buying from both existing and new investors.

The announcement of stock split also comes after when KPI announced to raise funds worth Rs 1,000 crore via issuance of equity shares of the Company ('Equity Shares') or any other equity-linked securities of the Company or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Equity Shares by way of qualified institutions placement (including one or more qualified institutional placements in tranches) ('QIP').

The fundraising will be carried out in tranches for an aggregate amount of Rs 1,000 crore.
