  • Here is a look at why companies split their stocks and those splits matter. Plus, upcoming stock splits to watch from Entergy, Wipro and more.

The article from 247wallst.com discusses the significance of stock splits and highlights upcoming stock splits in December 2024. Stock splits are corporate actions where a company increases the number of its outstanding shares by issuing more shares to current shareholders, which does not change the overall value of their investment but can make the stock appear more accessible to retail investors due to a lower per-share price. The article mentions that several companies are planning stock splits in December, including NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) with a 4-for-1 split, Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) with a 3-for-1 split, and Apple Inc. (AAPL) with a 2-for-1 split. These splits are anticipated to potentially increase liquidity, make the stocks more attractive to smaller investors, and could signal management's confidence in future growth. The article also provides insights into why companies might opt for stock splits, including psychological appeal and the desire to keep the stock price within a certain trading range.
