Impact on the Banking Sector
The listing of these shares reflects a common strategy employed by successful financial institutions in Nepal: providing returns to shareholders through bonus shares instead of, or in addition to, cash dividends. This strategy helps banks strengthen their capital base and reserves, supporting future growth and regulatory compliance.
Machhapuchchhre Bank, as a large ‘A’ class commercial bank, has a significant impact on market volume and sentiment. Conversely, the listing by Green Development Bank, a development bank, signals healthy growth and compliance with capital adequacy norms within that specific sector. Investors actively follow these listings as they offer clues about the financial health and future projections of the issuing company.
Market Liquidity and Supply
The addition of 4.9 million shares naturally influences the overall market liquidity and supply. Although the shares are distributed among existing shareholders, the potential for immediate selling upon listing increases the circulating supply of the stock.
Market analysts will closely monitor the initial trading days to assess how this supply affects the banks’ share prices. High trading volume is usually expected in the days immediately following the listing of a large block of bonus stock. The total circulating capital for both banks will see an immediate increase.
