Penny stock KBC Global is set to gain attention this week as the company has announced a new record date for issuing bonus shares.
The record date has been updated to April 4, replacing the earlier date of March 28.
The company’s board approved the 1:1 bonus share issue during a meeting on March 22.
This means that for every share an investor owns, they will receive one additional share for free. Today, KBC Global’s stock saw a slight rise, reaching ₹1.03.
