In finance, the term "capitalization change" refers to an alteration in the total amount of a company's shares outstanding. This can happen due to various reasons such as stock splits, reverse stock splits, or issuance of new shares. The date on which this change is officially recorded in the issuer's share register is known as the "record date." It is important to note that this date may differ from when the change is reported to the Exchange. This is a crucial aspect to consider when analyzing a company's financials.
