On the face of it, ‘stock split’ may sound unpleasant. You may wonder what happens when a company splits shares. Will you have to forgo your shares or will their value reduce? Will your investment portfolio drop in value when a company splits stocks?

Fret not! A stock split is neither good news nor bad. Companies often split their shares when the stock becomes expensive in absolute terms. This allows more retail investors to buy them and improves liquidity in the market.

Before understanding the consequences of a stock split on the stock price and market capitalisation of a company and your voting right, here’s a list of companies that have announced stock splits this month.

What is a stock split?

A stock split means a company divides its issued share capital into a higher number of shares while reducing the price per share. The company determines its split ratio and issues additional shares to its existing shareholders in order to increase its outstanding capital.

Impact of stock split

  1. A stock split doesn’t change the company’s market capitalisation or your investment. It decreases the value of an individual share
  2. Split stocks keep your stake in a company unchanged, so there’s no dilution in your voting rights
  3. After a stock split, the outstanding shares increase and this may proportionally lower the share price.

Conclusion

Your stake and voting right remain intact even if the value of your share is split. It only means that you hold an increased number of shares compared to before.

Therefore, if you are planning to buy any of the above shares for the sole reason of a stock split, reconsider! Stock splits are no guarantee that the company’s fundamentals have gotten better. So base your investment decision on research and evaluation.
