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 are the effects of a stock split accounted for as a 100 stock dividend on the company's financial statements and shareholder equity?

A stock split accounted for as a 100 stock dividend does not change the total value of the company or the shareholders' equity.

This can make the stock more affordable and increase liquidity, but it does not impact the company's financial position.


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.

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.
