Stock Split

A stock split changes the number of shares a company has without affecting the total value of your investment 🔁. It simply makes shares more affordable and increases liquidity 💹.

Normal Stock Split ➗

Example: A 2-for-1 split - Your 1 share becomes 2 - Price is cut in half - Total value remains the same

Major companies like AAPL, TSLA, and AMZN have used splits to encourage more investors to join 🚀.

Reverse Stock Split 🔄

A reverse split combines shares. Example: 1-for-10 split - 10 shares become 1 - Price increases 10× - Often used by struggling companies ⚠️

Does a Stock Split Affect Value? 📦

No. Your total investment stays the same — only the share count and price change.

Splits don’t guarantee growth, but normal splits can attract more investors and boost sentiment 📈.
