4 Stocks to Watch in April 2026 for Bonus Shares and Stock Splits Amid Market Volatility

India’s equity markets have come under pressure as rising tensions in West Asia triggered a sharp correction, pushing investors away from riskier assets. The sell-off has weighed on stock market volatility, with benchmark indices declining amid concerns over higher oil prices and geopolitical uncertainty.

Despite the downturn, corporate actions like bonus shares and stock splits are drawing investor attention, as they increase shareholding without changing overall value. These moves often improve liquidity and retail participation.

Among key announcements, IRB Infrastructure Developers has approved a 1:1 bonus issue, with 1 April 2026 set as the record date. The company, focused on highway development, reported a decline in both revenue and profit in the December quarter but continues to expand its asset base.

B2B Software Technologies will issue bonus shares in a 1:2 ratio, with a record date of 2 April. The IT firm posted strong growth, with revenue rising 53% and profit nearly doubling year-on-year, reflecting robust demand for enterprise solutions.

Textile player R&B Denims has announced both a 1:2 bonus issue and a stock split, with 3 April as the record date. While revenue growth remained steady, profitability declined during the quarter.

Meanwhile, R M Drip and Sprinklers Systems plans a 5:7 bonus issue, effective 10 April, supported by stable earnings and expansion plans in manufacturing capacity.

As investors navigate ongoing uncertainty, such corporate actions could provide short-term triggers, even as broader market sentiment remains cautious.
