When a corporation issues additional shares of stock at a reduction of par or stated value, it is typically referred to as a "stock split" or a "stock dividend." In this context, the reduction in par value allows the company to increase the number of shares outstanding while maintaining the total equity value. This practice can make shares more affordable and attractive to investors, but it does not change the overall market capitalization of the company.
For accounting purposes, a stock split is typically defined as a stock dividend that exceeds 25%. When a stock dividend is declared at this level or higher, it is treated as a stock split, which affects the par value and the number of shares outstanding without changing the overall equity. In contrast, smaller stock dividends are generally treated as ordinary dividends and may not significantly affect the par value.

Shares of stock that are issued at a value in excess of a company's actual assets are known as watered stock. The term arose many decades ago when a par value was assigned to shares of stock by the board of directors. The par value was correlated by many investors to the actual asset value per share of a company since companies could not sell additional stock below the stated or par value. Dishonest stock promoters would deceptively assign a high par value in order to sell overvalued or watered shares to investors. Due to investor confusion and misuse by shady stock issuers legislation was passed to allow stock to be issued at no par value. Once used as a metric of stock valuation, the term par value has little meaning for present day investors.
