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.

Nobody has a crystal ball, not even these financial geniuses out there that blog their opinions and guesstimates. I am no exception to this, and I'll even admit that they are probably more credible with their financial speculations. Having said this, my prediction for Exxon Mobil and the impending stock split will probably be before the year 2016. I formulated this opinion by using previous Exxon Mobil stock split histories that date back from the 1970s. If Exxon Mobil stock can hold around 90 for a long period of time, then I'm sure you'll see a stock split. But for now, enjoy the recent increase in Exxon Mobil's dividends.

March 2006 was the time when the Rightmove was listed on the stock exchange for the first time. This helped all stock investors alike to make proper decisions.
Typically, at the time of a split, values remain the same, but PRICE drops. It usually takes place to make the "per share" price more affordable. For example- a stock has gained value, and is trading at $100 per share. The company decides to have a 2 for one split. You had 10 shares of the old $100/share stock. You would get 20 shares of the NEW stock, which would be worth $50 per share. No net change. However, when a company announces a split, it is usually because the stock has been going up for some time- a good thing.
