A stock split is a method used by publicly traded companies to distribute additional shares to shareholders. This procedure increases your number of shares by a specific number. The total dollar value for the shares is not affected. Unlike a merger or stock sale, a stock split does not affect the company's value. The most common split ratios are 2-for-1 or 3-for-1. However, there are many other options.
Stock splits typically take place in a 2:1 ratio. If shareholders approve, other ratios such as 10-for-1 and three-for-1 may be used. Most stock split ratios are 2:2, but there are many other options, such as 3:1, 10-1, and 3. These ratios will be easy to remember and apply.

The stock price of a company can be affected by these factors
A stock split can have significant consequences for companies who want to increase the share price. It lowers the cost of each stock share, making it easier to invest in the business and allowing stockholders to acquire more shares. The more people who buy the stock, the higher the value of the company's shares. Stock prices may not remain the same but they will fluctuate.
A stock split can have a number of benefits, including lowering the shares price and making them more affordable for smaller investors. Some companies have high share prices which discourage small investors buying stock. Splitting the shares will lower the stock price and make it more accessible to new investors. It could make a company look more attractive to potential hires.

How To
How to Trade Stock Markets
Stock trading involves the purchase and sale of stocks, bonds, commodities or currencies as well as derivatives. Trading is French for traiteur. This means that one buys and sellers. Traders buy and sell securities in order to make money through the difference between what they pay and what they receive. This type of investment is the oldest.
There are many different ways to invest on the stock market. There are three types of investing: active (passive), and hybrid (active). Passive investors watch their investments grow, while actively traded investors look for winning companies to make a profit. Hybrid investors take a mix of both these approaches.
Passive investing can be done by index funds that track large indices like S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average. This type of investing is very popular as it allows you the opportunity to reap the benefits and not have to worry about the risks. You can just relax and let your investments do the work.
Active investing involves picking specific companies and analyzing their performance. The factors that active investors consider include earnings growth, return of equity, debt ratios and P/E ratios, cash flow, book values, dividend payout, management, share price history, and more. They then decide whether or not to take the chance and purchase shares in the company. If they feel that the company's value is low, they will buy shares hoping that it goes up. On the other side, if the company is valued too high, they will wait until it drops before buying shares.
Hybrid investments combine elements of both passive as active investing. One example is that you may want to select a fund which tracks many stocks, but you also want the option to choose from several companies. In this scenario, part of your portfolio would be put into a passively-managed fund, while the other part would go into a collection actively managed funds.
