Jattashankar Industries will split its Rs 10 face value shares 1:10 into Re 1 shares, with a record date of Monday 19 Oct 2026. Under T+1 settlement, today (Fri 16 Oct) is the last day to buy to qualify. The stock closed 0.76% higher at Rs 710.35 on 15 Oct, up 5,123% in three years, with a market cap of Rs 311.64 crore. I could not find the ex-date in the article.
Quick Answer
Jattashankar Industries has a record date of Monday 19 October 2026 for its 1:10 stock split, which cuts the face value from Rs 10 to Re 1. Because India uses T+1 settlement, an investor needed to own the shares by Friday 16 October to qualify, according to the report. The stock closed 0.76% higher at Rs 710.35 on 15 October and has risen 5,123% in three years, 209% in one year and 67% in three months. A stock split does not add value by itself, so the 5,123% gain is a reason to check the business and not to buy only for the split.
Jattashankar Industries, a maker of dyed yarn, has attracted attention because the stock split record date is near and the three year return is very large. The market capitalisation of Rs 311.64 crore makes it a microcap.

Jattashankar Industries Stock Split: Key Facts
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Split ratio | 1:10; one share of Rs 10 face value becomes ten shares of Re 1 |
| Record date | Monday 19 October 2026 |
| Last day to buy to qualify | Friday 16 October 2026 (T+1 settlement) |
| Ex-date | Not stated in the report |
| Close on 15 Oct (BSE) | Rs 710.35, up 0.76% |
| Market capitalisation | Rs 311.64 crore |
| Business | Dyed yarn manufacturing |
Shareholders approved the split at a general meeting, and the earlier board approval had lifted the share price by about 9% in one day, according to a Trade Brains report. The ex-date normally falls on the record date under T+1, though the report does not say so (my read).
Risk: If you miss the cut-off, you can still buy after the split, but you will not hold the extra shares from the old holding.

What Happens to the Share Price After the Stock Split?
| Item | Before split | After split (my calculation) |
|---|---|---|
| Face value | Rs 10 | Re 1 |
| Price | Rs 710.35 | About Rs 71.04 |
| Shares held (per 100) | 100 | 1,000 |
| Value of 100 shares | Rs 71,035 | Rs 71,035 (unchanged) |
| Approximate share count | About 43.9 lakh | About 4.39 crore |
The share count figures come from dividing the market cap of Rs 311.64 crore by the price of Rs 710.35 (my calculation). A stock split changes the number of shares and the price, but the market cap and the value of a holding stay the same on the day.
The aim of a stock split is usually to improve liquidity, since a lower price per share is easier for small investors. For a microcap, trading volumes may stay thin even after the stock split, so spreads can remain wide.
Risk: Prices often rise before a stock split on hope and then fall back after the record date.

Jattashankar Industries Returns: Why 5,123% Needs Caution
| Period | Return |
|---|---|
| 3 months | 67% |
| 6 months | 71% |
| 1 year | 209% |
| 2 years | 845% |
| 3 years | 5,123% |
A 5,123% return means a price of Rs 710.35 against about Rs 13.6 three years ago (my calculation). Very large gains in a small company can come from a low base, thin trading and sharp swings, and they rarely repeat.
The only quality measure in the report is a return on equity of 9.58%, which is modest for a stock that has risen so much. I did not find sales, profit or debt data, so I cannot judge the valuation.
Risk: A microcap with a rise of 209% in a year can fall by half in weeks if buying stops.
Should You Buy a Stock Only for the Split?
| Reason to buy | Check first |
|---|---|
| Stock split announced | A split adds no value; look at earnings |
| Strong past return | Past return does not predict the future |
| Lower price after split | Price per share is not the same as value |
| Fear of missing out | Decide position size from your risk limit |
Many studies of a stock split show a short term rise before the date, but the effect fades. An investor who buys on the last day is mostly buying a stock at a high after a run, so the stock split is a poor reason alone.
What to Watch Next
- The ex-date and the adjusted price on Monday 19 October
- Trading volume after the split
- The next quarterly results, for sales and profit
- Promoter holding and any stake sale
- Whether the stock holds the Rs 71 area after adjustment
Conclusion
The Jattashankar Industries stock split is 1:10 with a record date of 19 October, so 16 October is the last day to buy to qualify. The stock is up 5,123% in three years, which calls for caution, since the split itself adds no value.
