There was a split of Apple and Tesla shares.

The value of Apple shares dropped 4 times. That is, the split took place in proportions of 1 to 4. Holders received three more new ones per share. The same thing happened at Tesla, but at a ratio of 1 to 5.

What does stock split mean?

A split is when a company divides shares into several parts. For example, if a corporation announced a split at a ratio of 4 to 1, and its shares are worth $ 400, then on the date announced in advance, the owner of one share will receive three more. Each security will cost $ 100; the investor will have four of them.

Thus, there were more shares, but the total value did not change. Similarly, the total number of outstanding shares quadrupled, but the capitalization remained unchanged. Dividends per share are cut four times. The dividend yield remains unchanged.

Companies often split shares when their price gets too high in an absolute sense. Securities over $ 400 may not be available to low-net-worth retail investors. Corporations typically split to make securities cheaper and more affordable for private investors. As a result, the announcement of the split and the split itself can lead to an increase in securities.
