A stock split itself does not change the fundamental value of a company. However, studies show that historically, companies that announce splits tend to outperform the broader market in the 12 months following the split. This is often because a split signals management confidence and makes shares more accessible to retail investors.
A forward stock split increases the number of shares outstanding while proportionally reducing the share price. For example, in a 10-for-1 split, a shareholder with 1 share priced at $1,000 will instead own 10 shares priced at $100 each. The total value remains exactly the same.
Companies typically split their stock when the share price has risen to a level that may be too expensive for retail investors. Lowering the nominal share price increases liquidity and psychological accessibility, even though fractional shares are now widely available at most brokerages.
Data includes prominent large-cap and mega-cap forward stock splits between 2020 and 2026. Pre-split prices represent the unadjusted closing price on the last trading day before the split took effect. Post-split prices represent the closing price on the first trading day after the split.
1-year returns are calculated using the unadjusted closing price exactly one year (or closest trading day) following the split date. Returns do not account for dividends. All financial data is sourced from historical trading records. For splits that occurred less than one year ago, the 1-year return is marked as "Pending".
