Simplex Castings stock split 2026

The number of shares you receive will depend on Simplex Castings’s announced split ratio of 5:1. In a stock split, your existing shares are divided into smaller units based on the reduced face value of 2 while maintaining the same total investment value. For example, in a 2-for-1 split, you will receive two shares for every one share you own. The total value of your holdings remains the same, but the share price adjusts according to the split ratio.

The split shares will be automatically credited to your Choice Demat account. No action is needed from your side. The process follows by Simplex Castings announcing the stock split on 20-Jul-2026. Any existing shares will be split according to the announced split ratio of 5:1. After new shares are credited to your demat account, trading in split shares will start on the ex-split date.
