These are the upcoming stock splits for the week of September 23 to September 27, based on TipRanks’ Stock Splits Calendar. A stock split is an organization motion by which the company issues additional common shares to increase the variability of outstanding shares. Accordingly, the stock price of the company’s shares decreases, which maintains the market capitalization before and after the split. In contrast, there are also reverse stock splits that reduce the variability of outstanding shares (consolidate). On this case, too, the market cap is maintained since the share price increases following the reverse stock split.
Corporations often undertake stock splits to boost the liquidity of the common shares and make them less expensive for retail investors. Let’s look quickly on the upcoming stock splits for the week.
