The domestic equity markets are gearing up for a bustling corporate action calendar during the upcoming trading week spanning October 5 to October 9, as a total of 14 listed companies prepare to turn ex-date. Stock splits and bonus share distributions dominate the scheduled pipeline, offering multiple value-accretion and liquidity-enhancement avenues for investors. Alongside these capital restructuring measures, several cash-rich companies have earmarked record dates for high-value dividend disbursements reaching up to Rs 35 per share, while two prominent firms have finalized schedules for multi-crore equity share buybacks. Key market names headlining next week's docket include NMDC, GTV Engineering, BLS E-Services, PTC India, Mold-Tek Technologies, and Transport Corporation of India.
Four Firms Head for Bonus Issues Across 10:1, 2:1, and 1:1 Ratios
Four distinct entities will turn ex-bonus during the coming week, rewarding eligible equity holders with complimentary shares without demanding any additional capital outlay. The lineup features PH Capital, GTV Engineering, Mold-Tek Technologies, and Mold-Tek Packaging. Bonus issuances represent an established corporate mechanism through which companies capitalize accumulated reserves to allocate new equity shares at the prevailing nominal face value, thereby keeping the face value per share unchanged post-allotment.
The most substantial bonus distribution of the week belongs to PH Capital, which has established October 7 as the record date to ascertain eligible equity holders for its massive 10:1 bonus issue. Under this ratio, investors holding qualifying shares will receive 10 complimentary shares for every 1 existing equity share standing in their demat accounts. The corresponding ex-bonus date has similarly been set for October 7, 2026.
On that very trading day, GTV Engineering will trade ex-bonus for its announced 2:1 bonus issuance. This ratio stipulates that shareholders will be granted 2 free shares for each 1 equity share held. The company will also execute the identification of qualifying beneficiaries on October 7.
Toward the close of the trading week, on October 9, 2026, two sister concerns from the Mold-Tek group will execute their bonus distributions. Mold-Tek Technologies has finalized both its ex-date and record date for October 9, 2026, to implement a 1:1 bonus issue, delivering 1 additional complimentary share for every 1 equity share held. Similarly, Mold-Tek Packaging will trade ex-bonus on the same day under an identical 1:1 ratio, doubling the share volume of its eligible investors.
To evaluate the practical portfolio impact, an investor holding 100 equity shares across each issuing firm can trace clear volume shifts. A 100-share holding in PH Capital will expand through 1,000 complimentary shares, taking aggregate holdings to 1,100 shares. A 100-share holding in GTV Engineering will gain 200 shares, bringing the total position to 300 shares. For both Mold-Tek Technologies and Mold-Tek Packaging, the 1:1 distribution will supplement 100 shares with 100 new units, yielding an aggregate of 200 shares apiece.
Two Companies Undertake Stock Splits to Adjust Face Value
In addition to bonus distributions, two corporate names will subdivide their existing equity base through stock splits next week: BLS E-Services and Shankara Buildpro. Listed entities routinely execute share splits to trim nominal share prices, improve trading float, bolster retail participation, and make individual scrips more liquid on exchange counters. While the overall market capitalization of an investor's stake remains neutral, the underlying face value reduces and the volume of shares expands proportionally.
The earliest split of the week will see BLS E-Services trade ex-split on October 6 under a 1:2 ratio. This subdivision will reduce the nominal face value of BLS E-Services from Rs 10 per share down to Re 5 per share, splitting every 1 existing equity share into two separate shares of half the nominal denomination.
Later in the week, on October 8, 2026, Shankara Buildpro will execute a 1:5 share split. Under this corporate action, the company's existing nominal face value of Rs 10 will be subdivided into Rs 2 per share, effectively transforming each 1 equity share into 5 equity shares.
Following through with a standard portfolio illustration, an investor possessing 100 shares in both companies will witness notable adjustments. The 100 shares of BLS E-Services will multiply into 200 shares carrying a revised face value of Rs 5 each. Meanwhile, 100 shares of Shankara Buildpro will split into 500 shares bearing an updated face value of Rs 2 each.
