Forward Splits
Waarom Splitsen?
Companies splitsen om share price "affordable" te maken - psychologisch effect, meer retail interest. AAPL $500 → 5x $100 voelt accessible.
Common Ratios
2-for-1 (most common), 3-for-1, 4-for-1, 10-for-1. Amazon deed 20-for-1 in 2022 om price van $2400 naar $120 te brengen.
Split Mathematics
2-for-1 split: 100 shares @ $200 = $20K value → 200 shares @ $100 = $20K value. Total value unchanged, shares doubled, price halved.
Market Impact
Vaak bullish signal - splits come in bull markets. Stock usually rallies pre-split, mixed post-split. Index inclusion mogelijk if price was too high.
Reverse Splits
- Waarom? - Avoid delisting (NYSE/NASDAQ minimum $1), improve perception
- Common Ratios - 1-for-5, 1-for-10, 1-for-20 consolidations
- Bearish Signal - Usually sign of distress, desperation move
- Example - $0.50 stock @ 1M shares → 1-for-10 reverse → $5.00 @ 100K shares
- Success Rate - Low - most reverse split stocks continue declining
💡 Pro Tip: Forward splits often bullish, reverse splits usually bearish - historisch pattern zeer consistent!
