What is Stock Split?..

Answer / venkataseshaiah

Stock split Occurs when a firm issues new shares of stock
but in turn lowers the current market price of its
stock to a level that is proportionate to pre-split prices.
For example, if IBM trades at $100 before a 2-for-1
split, after the split it will trade at $50 and holders of
the stock will have twice as many shares than they had
before the split.

Split

Sometimes, companies split their outstanding shares into a
larger number of shares. If a company with 1
million shares did a two-for-one split, the company would
have 2 million shares. An investor with 100 shares
before the split would hold 200 shares after the split. The
investor's percentage of equity in the company
remains the same, and the price of the stock he owns is one-
half the price of the stock on the day prior to the
split

Answer / sricharan babu m

It means split in share face value. Here there is no change
in the share capital amount, it will change only number of
shares more or less.

What is Stock Split?..

Answer / ps21

All publicly-traded companies have a set number of shares
that are outstanding on the stock market. A stock split is
a decision by the company's board of directors to increase
the number of shares that are outstanding by issuing more
shares to current shareholders. For example, in a 2-for-1
stock split, every shareholder with one stock is given an
additional share. So, if a company had 10 million shares
outstanding before the split, it will have 20 million
shares outstanding after a 2-for-1 split.
