stock split
Dividing increases ownership
A stock split is a corporate action that divides existing shares into multiple new shares, lowering the price per share while maintaining the same total value.
A 2-for-1 split gives shareholders two shares for every one they held, each worth half as much: After the stock split, my 100 shares became 200.
Companies typically split shares to make the stock price more accessible to smaller investors.
