A bonus share is a free additional share given to existing shareholders, usually in proportion to the number of shares they already own. Companies issue bonus shares as a way to distribute accumulated profits to shareholders without paying out cash.
For example, a 1:1 bonus issue means for every share a shareholder owns, they receive one additional share.
A stock split is when a company divides its existing shares into multiple shares, increasing the number of shares in circulation but without changing the overall value of the investment.
For example, in a 2:1 stock split, shareholders receive two shares for every share they previously held, but the price of each share is halved. This makes the shares more affordable, without affecting the overall market value of the company.
