The ratios are 1:2, 1:5, 1:5 and 1:10, which cut face values from Rs 10 to Rs 5, Rs 10 to Rs 2, Rs 5 to Re 1 and Rs 10 to Re 1. The sub-division changes the number of shares and the price per share, not the company&#8217;s value or the worth of your holding. Investors should look at earnings, valuation and liquidity before treating a split as a signal.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A stock split is a corporate action in which a company divides each existing share into several shares of lower face value. Four small-cap companies, BLS E-Services, Shankara Buildpro, Bansal Wire Industries and JSW Dulux, have fixed record dates in October 2026. This guide lists each stock split ratio, the record date and ex-split date, and the financial context behind each name.<\/p>\n<p>Shareholders on the record date receive the new shares, and under the T+1 settlement cycle the shares typically trade ex-split on that same day. Because a sub-division only changes face value and share count, market capitalisation stays the same. If you are searching for which small-cap stocks are splitting in October 2026, the table below has the dates, and later sections cover performance, liquidity and risks.<\/p>\n<p

In a 1:5 split, one share of face value Rs 10 becomes five shares of face value Rs 2. If a share traded at Rs 1,250 before the split, it would trade near Rs 250 after it, and a holder of 100 shares would own 500 shares of the same total value.<\/p>\n<p>A split does not change earnings, assets or market capitalisation. It differs from a bonus issue, which gives shareholders extra shares for free but is booked from reserves. Companies use a split to lower the price per share, which can make the stock more accessible to small investors and may improve trading liquidity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stock_Split_Record_Date_and_Ex-Split_Date_How_It_Works\"><\/span><strong>Stock Split Record Date and Ex-Split Date: How It Works<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>The board proposes the stock split and shareholders approve it at an AGM or through a postal ballot.<\/li>\n<li>The company fixes a record date to identify shareholders eligible for the new shares.<\/li>\n<li>Under T+1 settlement, the shares typically trade ex-split on the record date.<\/li>\n<li>To be eligible, an investor needs to buy at least one trading day before the record date.<\/li>\n<li>New shares are credited to demat accounts after the record date, and exchanges adjust the price.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Limit orders and stop-loss orders placed in the old price range will not match the new price, so investors should revisit them around the ex-split date.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\">Check the Univest Screener for live data on small-cap stocks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stock_Split_Candidates_Financials_and_Performance\"><\/span><strong>Stock Split Candidates: Financials and Performance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Company<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Latest quarter (June 2026)<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Recent price<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">52-week range<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Market cap<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">BLS E-Services<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Net sales Rs 304.1 crore (from Rs 244.0 crore), profit after tax Rs 18.6 crore (from Rs 17.5 crore)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About Rs 322 (23 September)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 124.30 to Rs 339.80<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About Rs 2,975 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Shankara Buildpro<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Net sales Rs 1,889.8 crore, up 20.51%; net profit Rs 35.6 crore, up 11%<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About Rs 1,250 to Rs 1,300 (mid-September)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 636 to Rs 1,380<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About Rs 3,100 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Bansal Wire Industries<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Profit reportedly down about 48% on higher costs<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About Rs 318 to Rs 324 (late August to September)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About Rs 224 to Rs 380<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About Rs 5,000 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">JSW Dulux<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Revenue Rs 970 crore, down 2.8%; net profit Rs 79 crore, down 12.4%<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About Rs 3,200 (25 September)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 2,658.70 to Rs 3,745<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About Rs 14,570 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>BLS E-Services has been the strongest performer, with a one-year return of about 66% and a price near its 52-week high.

A split alters the share count and price, not the underlying business, so fundamentals, valuation and liquidity matter more than the event itself.

The price per share falls in proportion, so the total value of your holding does not change.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_stocks_have_a_stock_split_in_October_2026\"><\/span><strong>Which stocks have a stock split in October 2026?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> BLS E-Services (1:2, record date 6 October), Shankara Buildpro (1:5, 8 October), Bansal Wire Industries (1:5, 16 October) and JSW Dulux (1:10, 22 October) have announced a split.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_record_date_for_a_stock_split\"><\/span><strong>What is the record date for a stock split?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The record date identifies the shareholders eligible for the new shares. Under T+1 settlement, the shares typically trade ex-split on the record date, so you need to buy before it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_ex-split_date\"><\/span><strong>What is the ex-split date?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The ex-split date is the day the stock starts trading at the adjusted price. For these four companies it is the same as the record date under the current settlement cycle.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_a_stock_split_increase_returns\"><\/span><strong>Does a stock split increase returns?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> No. A stock split changes the number of shares and the price per share but not the company&#8217;s earnings, assets or market capitalisation. Any price rise around a split is driven by sentiment.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_stock_split_ratio_of_JSW_Dulux\"><\/span><strong>What is the stock split ratio of JSW Dulux?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> JSW Dulux has announced a 1:10 split. Each share of face value Rs 10 will be divided into ten shares of face value Re 1, with a record date of 22 October 2026.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_a_good_idea_to_buy_shares_before_a_stock_split\"><\/span><strong>Is it a good idea to buy shares before a stock split?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> This article does not constitute investment advice.
