If you hold shares of Anand Rathi Wealth Limited, there’s good news ahead. The company is planning to reward investors with bonus shares along with a possible dividend. This update has already created excitement in the market, pushing the stock price higher.
On Monday, the company’s shares rose by 2.55% to ₹3,286.55 and even touched ₹3,307.85 during the day. The stock is now trading very close to its 52-week high of ₹3,323.85, showing strong investor interest.
Bonus Shares Plan in Focus
The company has officially informed stock exchanges that its board will meet on April 9 to consider issuing bonus shares. This is a key decision that investors are closely watching.
Last year, in March, the company had announced a 1:1 bonus issue. This means investors received one extra share for every one share they held. If a similar move is announced again, it could further boost investor sentiment.
Along with bonus shares, the company will also discuss dividend distribution, making it a double benefit opportunity for shareholders.
Dividend Announcement Expected
Apart from the bonus issue, the board will also review financial results for the fourth quarter and the full financial year ending March 31, 2026.
These results will first be checked by the audit committee and then approved by the board. After that, the company may announce a final dividend for shareholders.
However, the dividend decision will need approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Strong Track Record of Rewards
Anand Rathi Wealth Limited has a solid history of rewarding investors. Since January 2022, it has already paid dividends totaling ₹57 per share. The company also carried out a share buyback in June 2024, which further benefited investors.
Shareholding Details
As of the December quarter:
Promoters hold a 43.1% stake in the company
Mutual funds own 9.12%
Around 70,000 small retail investors (holding up to ₹2 lakh) own 17%
Larger retail investors (above ₹2 lakh) hold 14.78%
This balanced shareholding structure shows strong participation from both institutional and retail investors.
Overall, the upcoming board meeting could be very important for investors, as both bonus shares and dividend announcements are on the table.
