A stock split happens when a company divides each existing share into multiple shares to increase the total number of shares. Although the number of shares outstanding increases, the total value of shares remains the same. Stock splits can reduce the price of each share, making them more affordable for smaller investors. This can potentially increase demand for the shares and liquidity.
