HDFC Asset Management Company (HDFC AMC) shares fell nearly 50% on November 26 as the stock went ex‑bonus following a 1:1 bonus issue.
Investors received one bonus share for every share held, halving the stock price but leaving overall investment value unchanged.
The correction is purely mechanical and not a reflection of performance. HDFC AMC reported a robust Q2 FY26, with revenue rising 16% to Rs 1,027.4 crore and net profit up 25% at Rs 718.4 crore.
Analysts say the slump is temporary, and long-term investors need not worry, as the company’s fundamentals remain solid.
