What Is a Stock Split, and Why Does It Happen?
A stock split occurs when a firm divides its existing shares into several shares to make them more accessible to investors while maintaining its overall market value. For example, in a 1:5 split, each share is divided into five, and the price per share falls proportionally, although the total value of an investor’s holding remains constant. Companies typically use a stock split to increase liquidity, attract more retail investors, and make their shares easier to trade on the market.
