Gautam Exim Stock Jumps 20% on Record Date as Company Announces 3 Bonus Shares for Every 1 Share
Gautam Exim Limited shares surged sharply on Wednesday, rising 20% on the BSE to close at Rs 40.85, as the stock traded on the record date for its bonus issue. The company is issuing bonus shares in a 3:1 ratio, meaning shareholders will receive three bonus shares for every one share they hold. The rally pushed the company’s market capitalisation above Rs 100 crore during the session.
The strong rise came just weeks after Gautam Exim completed a stock split. The company had split its shares in May, reducing the face value of each share from Rs 10 to Rs 5 and converting one share into two. The record date for that stock split was May 22. The recent corporate actions have drawn significant investor attention and supported the stock’s momentum.
According to the latest shareholding pattern, promoters hold 72.92% in the company, while public shareholders own the remaining 27.08%. The stock has delivered substantial long-term returns, gaining 1,471% over the past five years. It has risen 347% in the last three years, 399% in the past two years and 103% in the last one year. Over the last three months, the share price has climbed 19%, and it is up 11% so far this year.
The company’s latest financial performance showed a decline in revenue but a profit on the bottom line. For financial year 2026, Gautam Exim reported revenue of Rs 28.81 crore, compared with Rs 35.92 crore in financial year 2025. Net profit for FY26 stood at Rs 0.22 crore.
Gautam Exim Limited is engaged in trading and import-export operations, with a primary focus on sourcing and supplying industrial raw materials. The company imports recyclable waste paper, wood pulp and industrial specialty chemicals from regions including the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East and Australia. It also supports exports of kraft paper rolls, writing and printing paper, and other finished paper products.
The latest jump in the stock reflects a combination of corporate actions, strong market interest and the company’s long-term multibagger performance. Investors have responded positively to the bonus share announcement and the earlier stock split, both of which have increased the stock’s visibility in the market.
