stock split / reverse (stock) split

Aktienstückelung / Zusammenlegung von Aktien

When a company declares a stock split, the price of the stock will decrease, but the number of shares will increase proportionately. A stock split does not affect on value of what shareholders own. If the company pays a dividend, your dividends paid per share will also fall proportionately. Companies often split their stock when they believe the price of their stock is too high to attract smaller, individual investors. By reducing the price of the stock, companies try to make their stock more affordable to these investors.
