9 Stocks to Watch for Stock Splits and Bonus Issues in October

Some companies are giving out extra shares to their current shareholders.

This is like if you have one cookie, and the company gives you another cookie for free.

This can happen in two ways: a stock split, where one share is split into more shares, or a bonus issue, where investors get extra shares for each share they own.

Several companies have announced these actions in October, including Tata Investment and Shilpa Medicare.

Investors need to own the shares before a specific date, called the record date, to be eligible for the extra shares.

This doesn't change the overall value of your investment, but it can mean you own more shares.
