Occasionally, corporations split their stock. However, this does not change the value of the shareholder's shares on the corporation records or the corporation's net worth.

What happens if you have 200 shares at 67 cents and the company does a 25 to 1 reverse stock split?

In a normal stock split, each share is "split" according to the terms of the deal such that you would gain more shares but the price of each share would be adjusted downward to reflect the diluted value. For example, if you had 200 shares at $50 per share and the company decided to do a 2 to 1 stock split, you would wind up with 400 shares that were each worth $25. The overall value of your portfolio does not change after a split.In a reverse stock split, exactly the opposite effect occurs; the number of shares you have will be reduced, but the value of each share will increase. In your particular case, you would end up with 8 shares (200 / 25 = 8), but each share would now be worth $16.75 (0.67 x 25 = $16.75). The total value of your holdings will not change.

What is a 2 for 1 stock split?

A 2 for 1 stock split refers to a corporate action by a stock company wherein the face value of a stock is cut in half and after the action date, there will be twice the number of shares of that company in the market. Say for ex: XYZ limited has 1 million stocks in the market with each of face value $10, after the split there will be a total of 2 million stocks in the market of the same company each with a face value of $5. The net worth or the market capitalization of the company would remain the same after the split. So effectively, the market price of the company would also get cut in half when the split happens.


What is a reasonable amount of shares of stock to purchase for a first time stock investor?

The amount of shares depends on the price of the shares you buy. I think $15,000 is the minimal amount which you can reasonably invest in stocks. I would split the money so you can diversify a bit, buying about five different (industry) stocks. The fees your broker earns should not be much more than one percent of the total amount invested. So your investment has to gain 2% to be profitable.

What is the journal entry for a stock split?

1. For stock split there is no general entry passed as there is no change in the value of stocks just change in the number of shares. Example: If you have 10 shares of $10 each then total value is $100, if company decide to Split 2 to 1 then 10 became 20 shares of value of $100, so unit value is reduced to $5 each share but no change in the total value of shares.


You own 8 percent of common stock which sold for 98 dollars before a two for one split before tha split there are 30 thousand shares outstanding so what will your position be after the stock split?

With 30,000 shares outstanding before the split, there will be 60,000 shares outstanding after the split. With 8%, one would start with 2,400 shares and receive another 2,400 shares leaving them with 4,800 shares after the split. Your position as a % after the split will be unchanged because everyone with a share was issued an additional share. The total value of your shares, $235,200, will also not change since the equity value of the company has not changed - they just have more shares for the same value. The price; however, has changed. Right after the split, each share went from $98.00 per share to $49.00 per share. As an aside, historically, shares that split do outperform the market on average. However, there is bias in the results because only the best companies are able to effectively split their stock and, since they did not change operations, would have outperformed anyway.
