Angel One shares fall, snap 5-day gaining streak after stock split, Q3 business update. Check details

Shares of Angel One Ltd slipped over a percent to Rs 2,438 on January 8, 2026 after the brokerage firm announced that its board of directors will meet on January 15 to consider a stock split and declare its first interim dividend for the financial year 2025-26, alongside the announcement of its December quarter earnings. With today's fall, the stock snapped a 5-day gaining streak.

In a filing to the stock exchanges on Wednesday, the company said the board will consider the sub-division of its equity shares, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals. The stock split ratio will be determined at the meeting.

The board will also consider the declaration of an interim dividend, which will be paid only if approved. Angel One has fixed January 21, 2026, as the record date for determining eligible shareholders for the interim dividend, the filing said.
