What is Stock Split?
Stock split is the process of splitting shares with high face value into shares of a lower face value. It’s like getting an Rs.20 note changed for two Rs.10 notes. The value changes of neither note nor splitted stock.
Effect of stock split
A stock split increases the number of shares in a public company. The price is adjusted such that the market capitalization of the company almost remains same.
4) If this company declares a 2-for-1 stock split, your 100 shares become 200 and the share price is adjusted to Rs.125.
The value of your investment still remains the same (this time, 125x200). And if the company had 10 lakh outstanding
shares before the split, it will now have 20 lakh outstanding shares after this split, keeping the market cap unchanged.
5) Sometimes, companies may choose to club stock split issue with bonus shares. Bangalore based jewellery
manufacturer Rajesh Exports recently declared a 2-for-1 stock split along with a bonus offer of two shares for each
share held.
6) This means that each share becomes two, post-split. Now, for these two shares, shareholders will get four additional
shares as bonus. Thus, one share translates into six after stock split and bonus issue.
“To ensure increased liquidity for existing shareholders and easy entry point for new shareholders, the decision was
made to split the share.”
Benefit to shareholders after stock split and bonus issue.
Due to stock split, the high priced stocks will be available at lower rates. The retailer or small investors can easily afford to buy stocks of low price. There is also a probability that after stock split; the stock price may go up as more investors may rush to buy stocks at lower rates.
When to buy stock split stock?
a) If you wish to get benefited from stock split then you have to buy those stocks before record date.
b) A company announces record date.
c) If you buy those stocks before record date then you will be eligible for stock split.
d) If you are not interested to buy stock after stock split where the stocks are available at lower rates.
Why stock split is done?
1) Companies usually split their stock when they think the price
of their stock exceeds the amount smaller investors would be
willing to pay. “It is aimed at making the stock more
affordable and liquid from retail investors’ point of view.”
2) Generally, there are more buyers and sellers of shares
trading at Rs.100 than say, Rs.400, as retail shareholders
may find low-price stocks to be better bargains. Stock splits
are usually initiated after a huge run-up in the share. This
run-up may be linked to the performance of the stock.
3) The company may declare such splits in different ratios like
2-for-1, 3-for-1, 3-for-2, or like 4-for-1. Some companies may
go to the extent of declaring a 10 for 1 split, as power
services company GVK Power did recently.
For example, XYZ Company is trading at Rs.250 and you
hold 100 shares. Hence, the total value of your holding is
Rs.25, 000 (250x100).
