Stock splits

A stock split is a phenomenon where a company increases its number of shares. This usually happens to lower the price of a single share and make it more affordable. A split ratio defines how the new shares will be distributed among the current shareholders. For example, if a shareholder has one share before the split, they will have two shares after the split if the 2:1 split ratio is followed.
