Big news from Nestle India! For the first time ever, this FMCG giant is issuing bonus shares on a 1:1 ratio. What does this mean? If you own one share, you get one free! This bonus issue will double the number of shares you hold. Holders must own shares by the end of today, August 7, to be eligible because the record date is tomorrow, August 8. According to ETMarkets.com, ''Thursday, August 7, marks the last opportunity for investors to buy shares of Nestle India in order to be eligible for the upcoming 1:1 bonus share issue.'' This historic event has never happened before for Nestle India, as per Trendlyne data. Bonus shares don’t change the company's value directly but signal strong financial health and management confidence. Plus, it makes the stock more affordable and easier to trade for retail investors by lowering the price per share after the bonus. Nestle India’s move seems designed to reward loyal shareholders and attract new ones, especially since its share price is high compared to others in the FMCG sector. Remember SEBI’s T+1 settlement rule: only shares bought by August 7 count for this bonus. Don’t miss out! Now, what about Nestle India’s recent performance? The Maggi-maker shared its Q1 FY26 results in July. Their consolidated profit after tax (PAT) fell by 13.4% year-on-year to Rs 647 crore from Rs 747 crore last year. Yet, revenue rose 6% to Rs 5,096 crore from Rs 4,814 crore previously. So, despite a slight dip in profits, business is still growing steadily. So, what are you waiting for? Today is the final curtain call to get your hands on Nestle India’s free bonus shares. It’s like getting a buy-one-get-one-free deal — who doesn’t love that? Grab your shares now and watch your nest egg grow!
