A stock split does not alter the equation financially for either the company or the shareholder. It is considered a sign of a growth company to split its stocks, so that may affect perceptions of the company, but by itself the stock split does not change the value of a company. If a stock splits 2-for-1, you receive twice the number of shares after the split, but the price is cut in half to adjust for this.

The investor's percentage of equity in the company remains the same, and the share price of the stock owned is one-half the price of the stock on the day prior to the split. See similar questions...

A stock split occurs when the share price reaches a ceiling. That ceiling here is currently at $1,000 per share and the ratio is 10:1. Stock splits here are done automatically at dividend time. Once dividends are calculated, our system looks to see if any stocks are at or above $1,000; if there are, the price is divided by 10 and the number of shares are multiplied by 10. Thus, while your total dollars invested will not have changed, the number of shares you now own is 10 times what it had been. See similar questions...

However, the total value of the holding will remain the same on the day of the split. See similar questions...
