What is Stock Split?
A stock split is when a company increases the number of its shares by issuing more to existing shareholders, while proportionally reducing the price per share. The total value remains the same. Companies split stocks to make them more affordable for retail investors and improve liquidity. A 1:5 split means each share becomes 5 shares at 1/5th the price.
