Concord Biotech shares are showing a fall of nearly 50% on some trading apps on November 4, 2026. This is not a crash. It is a technical adjustment for the company’s 1:1 bonus issue.
The board fixed November 4, 2026 as the record date for the bonus issue, and the stock turned ex-bonus on the same day . On the record date, the share price is theoretically halved because the number of shares doubles, while the company’s total market value remains the same.
According to Aaj Tak, the stock settled at ₹1,229.90 on Tuesday and opened at ₹610 on Wednesday after the bonus adjustment. Some brokerage apps were still showing the previous day’s unadjusted price, making it look like a 50–52% crash .
Why Some Investors Are Panicking
This is a display issue, not a wealth issue. If you held 100 shares before, you will now hold 200 shares (bonus shares are expected to be credited by November 5), and your total investment value remains unchanged.
Business Today confirmed that the “50% fall” appearing on some trading apps is because the shares turned ex-bonus, adjusting to the pre-announced corporate action .
