Sharesplit Monitor

Stock splits are an instrument for optical price maintenance. It is used by companies whose share price reaches a visually high level. In this context, the term "bonus shares" is often used somewhat flippantly. But there is nothing for free. In balance sheet terms, the conversion of reserves into subscribed capital increases the number of shares. The value of the company remains unaffected - so the corrective takes place via the share price. Example: In the case of a 1:3 stock split, investors receive three new shares for each old one. In return, the share price is reduced to one third of the original value - i.e. from 90 euros to 30 euros. Ultimately, this is a psycho effect - but it sometimes works well and has a stimulating effect on trading volume.
