Business term of the day
A stock split happens when a company increases the number of its shares to boost the stock’s liquidity. Although the number of shares outstanding increases by a specific multiple, the total dollar value of all shares outstanding remains the same because a split does not fundamentally change the company’s value. The most common split ratios are 2-for-1 or 3-for-1. This means for every share held before the split, each stockholder will have two or three shares, respectively, after the split.
