What is a Stock Split?

Modified on Tue, 3 Dec, 2024 at 11:19 PM

A Stock Split is when a company splits its existing stock into a larger number of shares in order to lower the market price per share, thereby making the stock more liquid and accessible. A stock split does not change the company's total market value or the overall value of a shareholder's investment, it just changes the price and number of shares per share.
