the company was considering a 1 for 1 bonus issue


The company was considering a 1 for 1 bonus issue. On the day of record, the market price of its shares was 20 yuan. One financial analyst commented: "P/E ratio of SOUAET shares is 20, based on the current share price. After the bonus issue the share price should fall to 10 yuan, with the result that the P/E ratio should fall to 10. That will increase the marketability of SOUAET shares". Is the comment on the P/E ratio correct? Provide reasons.
