Question | What is a 'Stock Split'? |
Hello PrettyWoman, A stock split is a corporate action in which a company divides its existing shares into multiple shares to boost the liquidity of the shares. Although the number of shares outstanding increases by a specific multiple, the total dollar value of the shares remains the same compared to pre-split amounts, because the split does not add any real value. The most common split ratios are 2-for-1 or 3-for-1, which means that the stockholder will have two or three shares, respectively, for every share held earlier. A stock split is also known as a forward stock split. In the UK, a stock split is referred to as a scrip issue, bonus issue, capitalization issue, or free issue. |
