CAMS Stock Splits 5-for-1, Boosting Investor Access
5 Dec
Summary
- CAMS announced a 1:5 stock split, effective December 5, 2025.
- Retail shareholders hold a significant 23.9% stake in CAMS.
- The stock split aims to make CAMS shares more accessible to investors.
Computer Age Management Systems (CAMS) has completed its inaugural stock split, a significant event for its retail investors. Effective December 5, 2025, the company transitioned from a 1:5 split ratio, converting each ₹10 face value share into five shares of ₹2 face value. This adjustment was reflected in trading on the record date, December 5, 2025.
The primary objective behind this corporate action is to make CAMS's equity more accessible to a wider spectrum of investors, particularly smaller retail shareholders. As of the September quarter, these retail investors, defined as those holding up to ₹2 lakh in authorized share capital, collectively owned a notable 23.9% of the company.
This strategic move by CAMS, which serves asset management companies as a mutual fund transfer agency, is expected to broaden its shareholder base. The company, which has no promoter holding, saw significant stakes from mutual funds (14.34%), LIC (3.4%), and Foreign Portfolio Investors (44.3%), alongside the substantial retail investor presence.
