what happened
According to Moody's, the Tech Mahindra board announced a 1:1 bonus issue of shares on 15 October 2026. Each shareholder will receive one additional share for every share currently held, at no cost. The record date will be set by the company later. The previous bonus issue was announced in January 2015, and the face value of the shares is Rs.5.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2027, revenue rose 15.6% year on year to Rs.16,180 crore. Profit after tax reached Rs.1,586 crore, up 32.7%. Constant currency growth was 7.2%. The stock rose as much as 8% in trade on 16 October 2026. The company also reported deal wins exceeding $1 billion in each of the last four quarters.
why it matters
A bonus issue does not add value to the company itself: the number of shares increases, and the price typically adjusts in proportion to the ratio. For this reason, the market usually focuses on fundamentals, revenue and profit trends, and the deal pipeline rather than the bonus itself. The ex-bonus and record dates will be the next markers for investors.
market impact
Tech Mahindra: the 1:1 bonus doubles the share count and adjusts the price; results and deal wins remain the main driver
