What is a Stock Split?

A stock split is when a company increases the number of its shares by a set ratio without changing the overall market value. This lowers the price per share, making it more affordable for investors.

Example (5-for-1 split):

• You own 100 shares at $200 each → Total value = $20,000
• After the split: 500 shares at $40 each → Total value still $20,000

The investment value remains the same, but each share becomes cheaper.

What is a Reverse Stock Split?

A reverse stock split reduces the number of shares you own while increasing the price per share proportionally.

Example (1-for-10 reverse split:

• You own 100 shares → Receive 10 shares
• Share price increases 10×, keeping your total investment unchanged.
