[Market Focus] Sandoll Hits 52-Week High on News of 100% Stock Dividend

Sandoll is showing strong performance in early trading.


As of 9:05 a.m. on July 21, Sandoll was trading at 11,830 won, up 9.03% (980 won) from the previous trading day. During the session, the price soared to 12,370 won, setting a new 52-week high.


The surge in investor sentiment is believed to be driven by news of a stock dividend. Previously, on July 18, Sandoll announced through a disclosure that it had decided to carry out a stock dividend, allocating one new common share for every existing common share.


A stock dividend typically involves a company allocating additional shares to existing shareholders free of charge when it has secured sufficient surplus funds. This is often interpreted as a sign of strong earnings and can lead to a short-term rise in the share price.


After the stock dividend, the total number of Sandoll's issued shares will increase to 15,133,507.


The record date for the allocation of new shares is August 6. The scheduled listing date is August 26.
