Reason Behind the Surge

Dev Labtech Venture Limited has fixed a record date for 1:2 stock split and a 1:1 bonus issue of equity shares. These steps are meant to make the shares more affordable for investors and improve trading activity in the market. It may also attract more retail and new investors by increasing accessibility.

The company’s Board of Directors has also set Friday, May 15, 2026, as the record date to decide which shareholders are eligible to receive the bonus shares and stock split. Investors holding shares on this date will qualify for the stock split and bonus allotment.

Dev Labtech Venture Limited has decided to issue a stock split at a ratio of 1:2, meaning that each equity share’s face value of Rs. 10 will be divided into two equity shares with a share value of Rs. 5 each.

For example, if a shareholder owns 1,000 shares valued at Rs. 10 each in Dev Labtech Venture Limited, after the 1:2 stock split, their total holding will increase to 2,000 shares with a face value of Rs. 5 each. The value of the holding will remain unchanged.

Additionally, the company has also decided to issue bonus shares at a ratio of 1:1, meaning that shareholders will receive one new fully paid-up equity share of Rs. 5 each for every one existing fully paid-up equity share they hold. 

For example, if a shareholder owns 2,000 shares of Dev Labtech Venture Limited, they will receive 2,000 bonus shares, bringing their total holding to 4,000 shares after the 1:1 bonus issue
