Nvidia Announces 10-for-1 Stock Split
What is a Stock Split?
A stock split is a corporate action in which a company divides its existing shares into a larger number of shares.
This does not affect the total value of the shares, but it makes them more affordable for investors.
Nvidia's Stock Split
On May 25, 2023, Nvidia announced a 10-for-1 stock split, effective June 10, 2024.
This means that for every one share of Nvidia stock owned, shareholders will receive nine additional shares.
The stock split is intended to make Nvidia's shares more accessible to a wider range of investors.
Benefits of a Stock Split
- Increased liquidity: A stock split can increase the liquidity of a stock by making it more affordable for a wider range of investors.
- Increased accessibility: A stock split can make a stock more accessible to smaller investors who may not have been able to afford to purchase a whole share before the split.
- Lower volatility: A stock split can reduce the volatility of a stock by making it less susceptible to large price movements.
