September 16, 2024 (MLN): Mari Petroleum (PSX: MARI) extended its rally further following a substantial 1,340% dividend and 800% bonus shares issuance.

Its shares gained 10% on Monday to yet another record high close.

Such a large bonus issue can help attract smaller investors as it reduces share price by redistributing the amount of equity across a larger number of shares. It is worth noting that it does not change the overall valuation of the company.

It also provides a psychological boost to investors.

The country's major oil and gas exploration company has added more than $160 million to its market value this year alone, a gain of 81%.
