Servotech Power tumbles 5% on stock split

Every publicly traded company possesses a fixed quantity of shares that are currently available in the market. A stock split refers to the deliberate action taken by a company's board of directors to augment the total number of shares available by distributing additional shares among existing shareholders. For example, in a 2-for-1 stock split, a shareholder receives an additional share for each share held.

If approved, this will be the third time this year that the company has announced a stock split. In May, Servotech announced a sub-division (split) of its equity shares in a 1:2 ratio to enhance the liquidity of the company’s equity shares and to encourage wider participation in the stock market. In February, shares of the company hit the upper circuit of 5 per cent on NSE as it turned ex-split. According to an exchange filing by the company, each share of the Delhi-based company was sub-divided into a ratio of 5:1.

The company is engaged in the end-to-end manufacturing, procurement and distribution of a range of high-end yet advanced solar products, medical devices as well as energy-efficient lighting solutions. Its competitors are Siemens, BHEL, Suzlon Energy, Hitachi, CG Power among many more.
