        "summary": "Shares of PT Bank Mega Tbk. surged up to 20% during the morning trading session on Friday, closing 19.37% higher at IDR 3,020 per share, driven by the ex-date for cash dividends and a significant 1:1 bonus share distribution. The bank declared IDR 2 trillion in cash dividends for the 2025 fiscal year, a 91.82% increase from the previous year, alongside bonus shares worth IDR 5.87 trillion capitalised from additional paid-in capital. This corporate action, approved at the recent annual general meeting, has boosted liquidity and attracted retail investors, contrasting with the performance of larger Indonesian banks, with MEGA shares up 84.15% year-to-date.",
        "content": "<p>Shares of PT Bank Mega Tbk. (MEGA) soared up to 20% during the\nmorning trading session on Friday (10\/4\/2026). MEGA closed up 19.37% at\na price of IDR 3,020 per unit in the morning session.<\/p>\n<p>Bank Mega\u2019s President Director, Kostaman Thayib, stated that the\nsharp movement in the shares correlates with the momentum of the ex-date\nfor the cash dividend and bonus share distribution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday is the ex-date for the cash dividend and bonus share\ndistribution of Bank Mega,\u201d he said when contacted by CNBC Indonesia on\nFriday (10\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>On the ex-date, investors who purchase the shares are no longer\nentitled to the dividend or bonus shares. However, in this case, the\nbonus share distribution with a large ratio (1:1) increases the number\nof circulating shares and theoretically makes the share price more\naffordable.<\/p>\n<p>This condition often triggers increased liquidity and attracts retail\ninvestors as well as short-term traders.<\/p>\n<p>Bank Mega distributed cash dividends for the 2025 fiscal year\namounting to IDR 2 trillion, or equivalent to IDR 171.95 per share. This\namount represents a 91.82% increase compared to the dividend\ndistribution for the 2024 fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Bank Mega will distribute bonus shares derived from the\ncapitalisation of additional paid-in capital (share premium) with a\ntotal value of IDR 5.87 trillion. The company will distribute 11.74\nbillion bonus shares, where the bonus shares are distributed\nproportionally based on the share ownership of each MEGA shareholder at\na 1:1 ratio.<\/p>\n<p>Both corporate actions were agreed upon at the Annual General Meeting\nof Shareholders (AGMS) held at the Bank Mega Tower Auditorium, Jakarta,\non Tuesday (31\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the shares of this mid-cap bank owned by CT Corp have\nexperienced a high increase in share movement, differing from the shares\nof major Indonesian banks.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, MEGA shares have risen 84.15% throughout the year. At its\nhighest point this year, MEGA reached a price of IDR 5,150 per share,\nspecifically in February, before the bonus share distribution.<\/p>",
