Stock splits: what do they change?
In short: In a stock split, each share is replaced by several lower-priced shares. Your total value does not change: 1 share at $1,000 becomes, for example, 10 shares at $100.
Why companies do it
To make the share more accessible to small investors and easier to trade.
Effect on price
Mechanically, none. Some studies note a slight psychological effect, but nothing guaranteed.
The opposite: reverse splits
Several shares merged into one, often by companies whose price fell very low. It is frequently a sign of trouble.
