Domestic pharma major Wockhardt touched a 52-week high of Rs 810 in the morning trade on the back of news that the company is considering a bonus as well a stock split shortly. |
The company is expected to take the final decision in the next board meeting scheduled on February 14, market sources said. |

The company will also announce its third quarter results on the same day. The scrip as a result was extremely volatile, finally closing at Rs 766.35, gaining 3.2 per cent from its previous close of Rs 741.90. |

According to a pharma analyst, the bonus announcement could be liberal considering the higher book value the company possesses. Among pharma stocks, Wockhardt has witnessed a good rally over the past few months. |
