Hopefully this news is not too late. For those who are interested, it’s better late than never.

Apple and Tesla in the News

Apple and Tesla split their stocks 4:1 and 5:1 respectively. Apple announced its split last week; while Tesla’s was announced about two weeks prior. Tesla’s split occurred yesterday and Apple‘s happened today. The stock prices before the split were $500 for Apple and a whooping $2,000 for Tesla!

What is a stock split?

“Companies often split shares of their stock to try to make them more affordable to individual investors. Unlike an issuance of new shares, a stock split does not dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders. When a company declares a stock split, its share price will decrease, but a shareholder’s total market value will remain the same. For example, if you own 100 shares of a company that trades at $100 per share and the company declares a two for one stock split, you will own a total of 200 shares at $50 per share immediately after the split.”

With the stock split, it is a great time to buy these two stocks as, undoubtedly, the stock prices will rise again. In fact, news already have it that they are already on the rise.
