3:5 bonus shares, 1:10 stock split: A long-term stock market investor enjoys some extra benefits over a short-term investor or a trader. While short-term investors and traders earn from the stock movement only, a long-term investor gets various rewards that a listed company announces from its capital reserves. These rewards are announced in the form of dividends, bonus shares, stock split, buyback of shares, etc.
These rewards may not impact one's investment at the time of reward announcement but in a longer period, these rewards make a huge impact on one's shareholding and the absolute return of an investor.
