➕ Bonus Shares: When investors get additional shares at no extra cost.

🪙 Dividends: Monetary reward given to investors for staying invested in the company.

🔙 Share Buybacks: The company decides to buy its own shares back from investors.

🪓 Stock Splits: A single share turns into multiple shares without affecting the market capitalisation of the company.

⏳ A Stock That Stood The Test Of Time

In the last 20 years, a single share of Titan has yielded 845% returns. But that’s not all. Here’s how this brilliant stock rewarded its investors.

👉🏽 Bonus Shares + Stock Split

On 23rd June 2011, the company announced bonus shares in the ratio of 1:1 and a stock split of 10:1. A stock split does not result in direct profit for the investor—it increases the number of shares an investor has but reduces the cost of the initial investment.

👉🏽 Cost Price Decrease

The input cost of the investors who purchased Titan’s shares 20 years ago, in August 2002, decreased to 10% of their real cost as Titan announced a 10:1 stock split in June 2011. Therefore, the cost price for shareholders who invested 20 years ago further decreased by 50%, given the issue of bonus shares. As a result of the stock split, their input cost was already estimated at 10% of the total cost. Their cost price was further reduced to 5% of their real purchasing level by the bonus share issue.

👉🏽 Astronomical Growth

Due to the 10:1 stock split and 1:1 bonus share announcement, investors actually paid ₹0.15 for each share, rather than the original price of ₹3. For these investors, Titan’s share price multiplied by 16,900 times in the last 20 years.
