In a filing to the stock exchanges on Wednesday, the company said the board will consider the sub-division of its equity shares, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals. The stock split ratio will be determined at the meeting. A stock split typically involves reducing the face value and market price per share with the objective of making the stock more affordable for retail investors and widening participation.
The board will also consider the declaration of an interim dividend, which will be paid only if approved. Angel One has fixed January 21, 2026, as the record date for determining eligible shareholders for the interim dividend, the filing said.
