What is a Stock Split?

Created by Sunny Udmal, Modified on Thu, 12 Mar at 12:51 PM by Yash Memaya

A stock split is a corporate action where a company increases the number of its outstanding shares by dividing each existing share into multiple shares. While the number of shares increases, the total value of your investment remains the same immediately after the split.

In simple terms, a stock split makes each share cheaper without changing the company’s overall market value.
