A-1 Limited Revises Stock Split Record Date to 8 January 2026 with 3:1 Bonus Issue

A-1 Limited shares locked at the upper circuit on 30 December, attracting traders after fresh corporate news. The stock hit Rs 1,932.90, up 5 percent from the earlier close, while market capitalisation reached Rs 2,222.84 crore, keeping the counter active ahead of a stock split and bonus issue.

The company, earlier known as A-1 Acid Ltd., operates in the distribution and wholesale trade of industrial chemicals and acids. A-1 Limited was founded in 1975 and remains focused on supplying industrial customers, which places the current share price moves and corporate actions in a long-running business context.

A-1 Limited recently informed the stock exchanges that the record date for its planned stock split has changed. The earlier reference date of 31 December 2025 now shifts to 8 January 2026, which means investors seeking split-adjusted shares must hold stock by this revised record timeline.

"We would like to inform that the record date for stock split has been revised from Wednesday, December 31, 2025 to Thursday, January 08, 2026 due to corporate action for the following purpose. To determining eligibility of Split of shares of shareholders for the purpose of Sub Division/Split of every 1 (One) Equity Share having face value of Rs. 10/- (Rupees Ten only) each fully paid up, be sub-divided/split into 10 (Ten) Equity Shares having face value of Rs. 1/- (Rupees One only) each fully paid-up," said A-1 in a stock exchange filing.

Before these announcements, the stock had already delivered strong returns within its 52-week range. From a 52-week low of Rs 385 on 28 January 2025, A-1 Limited climbed to Rs 1,932.90, implying gains of about Rs 1,548 per share and an appreciation exceeding 400 percent over the period.

This sharp rise has moved A-1 Limited into the list of better performers among mid-sized counters over the last year. However, the stock still trades about 31 percent below its 52-week peak of Rs 2,816.55, which was recorded on 28 November 2025, suggesting profit-taking and near-term consolidation after a steep prior rally.

A-1 Limited stock split and bonus issue timetable

Alongside the split, A-1 Limited has also clarified the timeline for its bonus issue, which runs on a separate schedule. The company confirmed that 31 December 2025 remains the record date for identifying eligible shareholders for the bonus equity shares, and this date is unchanged despite the split record revision.

Under the approved bonus plan, investors will receive three fully paid bonus equity shares for every one share held. This gives a bonus ratio of 3:1, with each bonus share carrying a face value of Rs 10. The company plans to issue a total of 3.45 crore bonus equity shares to existing shareholders.

In line with SEBI’s updated T+1 bonus credit framework, A-1 Limited has provided a detailed schedule for allotment and trading. By 1 January 2026, the company considers the bonus shares as allotted, and by 12 PM that day, the bonus units should reflect in eligible demat accounts, enabling trading from 2 January 2026.

Corporate action	Key date	Purpose
Bonus issue record date	31 December 2025	Identify shareholders eligible for 3:1 bonus shares
Bonus shares deemed allotment	1 January 2026	Credit of bonus shares as per SEBI T+1 framework
Bonus shares listing and trading	2 January 2026	Bonus equity shares begin trading on exchanges
Stock split record date	8 January 2026	Determine eligibility for 1:10 stock split

Market participants are watching how these dual corporate actions, occurring within a short span, influence liquidity and retail participation in A-1 Limited. While the bonus issue follows the original timetable, the later split record date separates the two events and may shape trading strategies around the counter.

On the technical side, some analysts remain constructive on the stock despite the pullback from the 52-week high. "A1 Ltd is bullish on the Daily charts with strong support at 1753. A Daily close above resistance of 1952 could lead to a target of 2294 in the near term," commented A R Ramachandran, part-time SEBI-registered Research Analyst, Tips2trades.

With the share price well above its 52-week low, yet below the recent peak, A-1 Limited enters the record date period with active interest from traders.
