Kotak Mahindra Bank Share: 80% Drop a Myth, Stock Split Explained
- •Kotak Mahindra Bank's share price appeared to drop by 80% on January 14 due to a 5:1 stock split, not an actual fall in value.
- •The face value of the share reduced from 5 rupees to 1 rupee, meaning one old share became five new shares.
- •Trading platforms that did not automatically adjust prices showed the apparent 80% decline.
- •After adjustment, the share traded around 419-420 rupees, with a slight 1.6% decline, and market capitalization remained stable.
- •The stock split aims to make shares more accessible, increase liquidity, and attract small investors without affecting company value; investors need no action.
Why It Matters: The 80% drop in Kotak Mahindra Bank's share was a visual anomaly caused by a 5:1 stock split.
