Title: Stock split
Post by: munna99185 on March 27, 2014, 01:07:51 PM
Stock split is a corporate action in which a company divides its existing shares into multiple 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 did 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 for every share held earlier. [Source: http://www.investopedia.com]
