Investors watching the stock market for impending stock splits should be aware that four shares, Rama Steel Tubes Ltd, PDS Ltd, Alfavision Overseas (India) Limited, and Kritika Wires Ltd, will all undergo stock splits in the upcoming and leaving days of August. A stock split occurs when a firm reduces the face value of each share by a predefined ratio and issues more shares to its current shareholders. Following a stock split, the quantity of shares on the market increases, but an investor’s value of the investment in that particular stock remains unchanged.
What Does Stock Split Mean?
A stock split, also known as a stock division, increases the number of shares in a corporation. After a 2-for-1 split, for example, each investor will possess twice as many shares and each share will be worth half as much. A stock split lowers the market price of individual shares but does not affect the company’s overall market capitalization: stock dilution does not occur.
When the market price per share is so high that trading becomes unmanageable, a corporation may split its shares. One argument is that a very high share price may discourage small investors from purchasing the shares. Stock splits are often conducted following a significant increase in share price.
