Splits make stocks more affordable to small investors but generally don't mean anything. It's like breaking a pencil into 2, you now have 2 pencils but you didn't add any value. You can find out which companies are going to split at Yahoo Finance at http://biz.yahoo.com/c/06/s5.html |

Always Right

A stock split is a non-event. It's just a psychological game that corporations play with uneducated investors.
Which is a better deal? A dozen eggs for $1 or a half dozen eggs for 50 cents? |

Stock splitting is good. That means the company is making money. I don't think it is announced beforehand because that would cause a selling and buying frenzy. |

It's generally good news to announce an impending split, but not so good when it happens. The stock usually goes up after the announcement but down after the event.... |

Splitting stock is irrelevant to the value of a holding in the company.
It reduces the value of shares in (approximately) the same proportion that the stock is split. That is, double the number of shares, approximately halves the share price.
Because of the psychology of most investors, they feel more comfortable purchasing 100 shares for $10 each than 10 shares for $100 each in the same company. So, splitting shares might result in them being traded more, therefore might result in them going up in price more. Key word is MIGHT. |

I'll second/third the "it means nothing" gang. Splits do not affect market cap. Any effect resulting from bringing a stock into/out of the trading range of investors who happen to like specific stock price ranges is purely temporary.
Looking for company announcements is a good start though. It means you are trying to know more about your investment. The press releases to look for though are companies announcing stock buybacks. This not only means they have the money and value their own company, but it also means they are doing the best thing for the current investors. Isn't it great to own a stock that effectively has a limited downside? |
