Upcoming Stock Splits Calendar

Forward Split: This is the most common type of stock split. In a forward split, a company increases the number of its outstanding shares by dividing each share into multiple shares, which reduces the price per share. This is typically done to make the shares more affordable.

Reverse Split: In a reverse stock split, a company reduces the number of its outstanding shares by combining shares. This increases the price of each share. Companies might do this to meet stock exchange listing requirements or to attract a different type of investor.

The split ratio column in our Stock Split Calendar indicates the proportion of the split. It's presented in a format like '1 to 2' or '10 to 1'.

1. Forward Split Example (1 to 2): If a company announces a forward split with a ratio of 1 to 2, it means each share you own will be split into 2 shares. If you owned 100 shares before the split, you would own 200 shares after the split. The price of each share would be halved.

2. Reverse Split Example (10 to 1): If a company announces a reverse split with a ratio of 10 to 1, it means every 10 shares you own will be combined into 1 share. If you owned 100 shares before the split, you would own 10 shares after the split. The price of each share would be multiplied by 10.

It’s important to remember that whether it's a forward or a reverse split, the total value of your shares remains the same immediately after the split. For instance, if you own shares worth $1,000 before either type of split, you will still own shares worth $1,000 immediately after the split.
