A Stock Split: What Is It?
When a business issues more shares to increase the stock’s liquidity, a stock split occurs. A split does not fundamentally alter the company’s worth; thus, even while the number of outstanding shares increases by a certain multiple, the total dollar value of all outstanding shares stays the same.
Two-for-1 and 3-for-1 split ratios—sometimes referred to as 2:1 or 3:1—are the most popular split ratios. This implies that each investor will own two or three shares for each share they owned before the split.
The Operation of a Stock Split
A stock split is a business move when a corporation gives its shareholders more shares, increasing the total by a predetermined ratio depending on the shares they previously held. Businesses frequently decide to split their stock in order to improve trading liquidity and reduce the market price of their shares to a level that is more comfortable for the majority of investors.
Compared to buying one share of a $1,000 stock, most investors feel better at ease buying, say, 100 shares of a $10 stock. In order to lower the share price, many publicly traded corporations announce stock splits when they see a significant increase in price. A stock split does not raise the value of the company; hence, even while the number of shares outstanding grows, the total dollar worth of the shares stays the same when compared to values prior to the split.
The board of directors of a firm has the authority to divide the stock by any ratio. A stock split could be 2-for-1, 3-for-1, 5-for-1, 10-for-1, 100-for-1, etc. as an example. A 3-for-1 stock split results in an investor owning three shares for every one they previously held. As stated differently, there will be three times as many outstanding shares in the market.
Conversely, the old share price divided by three will result in a lower price per share following the 3-for-1 stock split. This is due to the fact that a stock split has no effect on the market capitalization of the company.
A stock split of one to ten, or from ₹10 per equity share to ₹1 per equity share, has been announced by the corporation.
March 4 has been set as the record date to determine if shareholders are eligible for the stock split.
On Monday, Tiger Logistics (India) Ltd. shares will trade ex-split.
On Saturday, March 2, Tiger Logistics (India) Ltd.’s shares finished at ₹690.40, down 9.68%, on the BSE.
A stock split occurs when a business chooses to purposefully reduce the price of its shares so that investors can purchase them at a reduced cost without sacrificing value.
