share split 5 for 1 bonus 1 for 3 dividend 5+3 cts ex 27/3 So, u bought 1 mother, u may get after split 5+1.666 share = 6.66 share Price 6.60 /6.66 share =90 cts per share after split , bonus and approved . 1 share =6.66 share , so bought 10 , u may get 66,660 shares! if keep for long term , the share may go up by another 2/3 times , thus your shares will be exponential ? Do correct me if I was wrong. Not a buy or sell call and no malice!
just like ptaras , after bonus 1 for 1 , its price came down terribly from 6.40 to 2.90 , by right it should be 3.20 , so after bonus it was traded at a 10 % discount instead ! So , not all are good anyway!
ok, just to clarify and make things a bit easier to understand, suppose closing price of HUPSENG still remains at $6.7 on 1st April after 27th march 8 cents dividend.
Now after 2nd April:
1). 1 : 3 bonus share and 2). 5 : 1 split
therefore, 1). average price per share after 1 : 3 bonus share is approximately equal to ($6.7 x 3 shares)/(1+3)= $5.025
2.) average price per share after 5 : 1 split is approximtely equal to ($5.025 / 5) = $1.005 (Opening price on 7th April, monday)
Another way to calculate the price is 6.70/5 = 1.340 then 3 for 1 bonus means you get 4 lots but with 3 lots cost so (3 x 1.340 ) /4 = 1.005 . So the correct ex- price is 1.005 if the share price before split is 6.70 .
Sorry lollipopz went out for breakfast just now n just came back. Well for me if the price is around 6.70 gives us an ex-bonus price of around rM1 will be reasonable. I'll enter if the price don't change much. Trade at own risk.
Yes vinvin , I knew that . I am using the old way . 1 lot = 1000 shares last time , nowadays is 1 lot = 100 shares . Anyway I said later that 300 shares well get 2000 shares and 3000 shares will get 20,000 shares which is correct .
