A leading fintech firm known for its algorithm-based trading and investment solutions is set to undergo major corporate restructuring. In this article, we break down the upcoming stock split and generous bonus issue that could significantly enhance shareholder value and improve stock liquidity ahead of the record date.

Algoquant Fintech Limited’s stock, with a market capitalisation of Rs. 1,920 crores, rose to Rs. 1,239, hitting a high of up to 1.8 percent from its previous closing price of Rs. 1,216.75. Furthermore, the stock over the past year has given a return of 55 percent.

Bonus & Split

The company has announced August 18, 2025 as the record date for two major corporate actions a stock split and a bonus issue. As part of the stock split, each fully paid-up equity share of Rs. 2 will be split into two shares of Rs. 1 each. This move is typically aimed at improving liquidity and making the stock more accessible to a wider group of investors.

In addition to the split, the company will also issue bonus shares in the ratio of 8:1. This means shareholders will receive 8 additional shares of Rs. 1 each for every 1 share held (post-split). For example, if a shareholder holds 100 shares before the record date, they will first receive 200 shares after the split, and then be allotted 1,600 bonus shares, bringing their total holding to 1,800 shares.

Net profit dropped sharply to Rs. 0.61 crore in Q4FY25, falling 90% YoY from Rs. 6.19 crore and 88% QoQ from Rs. 5.09 crore, indicating margin pressure or higher costs.
