Although I am not aware whether the company has declared the exact bonus date or not but after the bonus it's price will be halved. so ex-bonus it should be around 1300. If you sell now, you wont get a bonus as you will be selling at pre-bonus price i.e. before the bonus record date, as simple as that. If you sell at ex-bonus price, you get bonus which you usually get in you demat account 2-3 weeks after record date and if you sell at pre bonus price, you wont get bonus.

I am not an expert but can still recommend you one thing that if you bought L&T with a long term view of 2-3 years, then you should not worry about these very short term fluctuations. And if you entered with a short term view, then (why L&T?) follow your stop loss. In my view, L&T is an excellent scrip if you can hold it for some time. experts in this forum have already written about it.
