Coforge has announced a meeting on 4 March 2025 to decide on the stock split. If finalized the stock will be split in the ratio of 1:10 to make its shares more accessible and further increase liquidity. If we understand the equation there will be 10 smaller shares instead of 1 share.

A stock split does not impact value, it divides one share into smaller shares of the same value (according to the stock split ratio). The face value of each share was also reduced from INR 10 to INR 1 per share. With this move, Coforge is expecting broader investor participation.

Breaking Down the Coforge Stock Split

• Split Ratio: 1:10 (One existing share splits into ten)
• Record Date: Yet to be announced; this will determine which shareholders are eligible for the split.
• Face Value Adjustment: The face value of each share will be reduced from INR 10 to INR 1.

Investor Sentiment and Market Response

As soon as Coforge made this announcement, there was a surge of activity in the company’s stock. Many investors responded positively to it. Some analysts believe that this move will increase liquidity and attract investors who were previously unable to buy it due to its high prices.

Market experts often emphasize that stock splits don’t change a company’s intrinsic value—it’s the same fruit but diced into small pieces. However, a stock split has a psychological edge – “Lowering the per-share price makes it affordable which draws in more retail investors and potentially boosts demand,” noted a market analyst.
