Goodluck India shareholders must act quickly as today marks the last opportunity to purchase shares and qualify for the company's maiden 2:1 bonus issue. Under the Securities and Exchange Board of India's T+1 settlement cycle, shares must be bought at least one trading day before the record date to be eligible for the bonus shares.
Goodluck India announced its first-ever bonus issue in July, offering two bonus equity shares of face value Rs 2 each for every one equity share held. The record date for this issue will be announced separately. Bonus issues are typically seen as a sign of strong financial health and can enhance liquidity and affordability in the market.
In May, Goodluck India declared a final dividend of Rs 3 per share for the financial year ending March 31, 2026, pending shareholder approval. However, due to the 2:1 bonus issue, the board has adjusted the final dividend to Re 1 per share. The company has a history of 27 dividend declarations since March 2003, with a current dividend yield of 0.51%.
Goodluck India shares closed at Rs 1,355 on Wednesday, reflecting a 2% gain. The stock has risen 4% over the past week but has seen a 12% decline over the past month. Year-to-date, the stock is up over 27% in 2026. Long-term investors have seen returns of 36% over one year, 142% over three years, and 387% over five years.
