Best Answer

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 1 for 3 stock split?

This actually sounds like a "reverse stock split." In such a transaction, which is done to increase the stock price without changing the company's market cap, a company trading three million shares at $10 who did a 1:3 reverse stock split would finish the day trading 1 million shares at $30.
