Investors have until today to purchase shares of TD Power Systems to be eligible for the company's upcoming 1:2 stock split. According to SEBI's T+1 settlement cycle, shares must be bought at least one trading day before the record date to ensure they are credited to investors' demat accounts in time for the corporate action.
TD Power Systems announced in May that its board approved a plan to split each existing share with a face value of Rs 2 into two shares with a face value of Re 1 each. This move aims to make the stock more accessible to retail investors by lowering the share price, potentially increasing participation and trading volumes.
For instance, an investor holding 100 shares worth Rs 10 each will see their shares split into 200 shares valued at Rs 5 each, maintaining the total value of Rs 1,000. While the number of outstanding shares will increase, the company's overall market capitalisation remains unchanged.
The stock has shown remarkable performance, gaining over 2% in a week and 33% in a month, with an overall increase of around 125% in 2026. After hitting a 52-week low of Rs 493 in August 2025, the stock surged over 224% to reach a 52-week high of Rs 1,597.70 earlier this month.
In the longer term, TD Power Systems has delivered impressive returns of nearly 500% over three years and approximately 3,088% over five years. The company's market capitalisation stands at Rs 23,558 crore.
Background
The stock split is part of TD Power Systems' strategy to enhance liquidity and attract more retail investors by making shares more affordable. Historically, stock splits can lead to increased trading volumes and broader market participation.
Investors should monitor the impact of the stock split on trading volumes and market participation. The move is expected to enhance liquidity and attract more retail investors, potentially influencing the stock's future performance.
