LIC bonus issue: Here’s why only one trading session is left before the May 29 record date
Investors are closely monitoring the record date for LIC’s first-ever bonus issue, causing a 1% drop in shares. May 27 is the last trading session for eligibility, due to the T+1 settlement system and market holiday on May 28. The bonus issue offers one extra share for every share held, but the stock price will adjust accordingly. Q4 earnings showed a 23% increase for LIC.
