  1. Calculating Stock Splits Mrs. Matiste

  2. Why do corporations split stock? • Increases the number of shares outstanding • Decreases the market price per share • Stock is reduced proportionately to the new number of outstanding shares • Done to allow average stock buyers to afford stock • Or to increase the supply of stock • All new shares are distributed to existing stockholders • The corporation DOES NOT make money on stock splits

  3. Stock Splits • In order to receive the split shares, you need not own the stock on the day of the split, you must own it WHEN THE SPLIT OCCURS! • Example: On April 20, XYZ Corporation announces a 2 for 1 stock split to occur on June 1. In order to get the split shares, you only have to own the stock prior to June 1st.
