Oil India spurts on bonus news
Oil India has been making new 52-week highs for the past couple of days and today too, immediately after the opening bell, it hit a new high at Rs.446 with volumes spiking up over two times.
The company announced yesterday after market hours that its Board will be meeting on the 28th of November to consider issue of a bonus. Obviously, the market is thrilled and would expect the ideal – 1:1 and we will see a runup to that till it is announced, after which profit booking comes from traders. This is almost always how stocks behave when bonus consideration is announced. The company had announced a bonus in 2012 in the ratio of three shares for every two held.
The trading window will be closed in Oil India from 18 to 30th Nov.
On the same day, 28th Nov, the company is also going to announce its Q2FY17 results.
