Synopsis: Shares plunged sharply as the stock adjusted for a 1:1 bonus issue on the record date, despite strong financial performance and industry leadership. Robust AUM, expanding investor base, and diversified distribution continue to support long-term fundamentals, with the correction driven purely by bonus-related price adjustment.
The shares of this asset management company plummeted up to 50.51 percent in today’s trading session, as today is the record date for the issue of bonus shares to the eligible shareholders.
With a market capitalisation of Rs 1,14,461.16 crore, the shares of HDFC Asset Management Company Ltd were trading at Rs 2,667.40 per share, decreasing around 0.08 percent as compared to the previous closing price of Rs 2,670.30 apiece.
Reason for Fall
HDFC Asset Management Company Ltd’s shares dropped 50% on November 26, 2025, due to the 1:1 bonus issue record date. The sharp decline reflects the stock adjusting for the bonus allotment. Approved on October 15, the allotment of bonus shares will be done by December 14, 2025. This step aligns with SEBI norms and aims to boost liquidity and investor confidence.
