The record date, also known as the date of record, is a critical date set by a company upon which shareholders must be on the corporation's books in order to receive the benefits of a corporate action, such as a dividend payout or stock split.
A reverse split is a corporate action in which a company reduces the number of its outstanding shares while keeping the market value the same immediately after the reverse split as it was before. Each share will be worth more post-reverse split.
A scrip issue, also known as a bonus issue, capitalization issue, or free issue, involves the issuance of new shares to existing shareholders to reflect accumulated profits in the reserves of a company. This process converts company reserves into issued capital without requiring shareholders to pay for the new shares.
Share splitting involves dividing the share capital of a company into smaller units. This practice usually aims to make shares more affordable and increase their liquidity in the market.
A stock split increases the number of a corporation's outstanding shares while making the stock more marketable, without altering shareholders' equity or the overall market value at the time of the split.
A stock split is a corporate action in which a company divides its existing shares into multiple shares to boost the liquidity of the shares. Although the number of shares outstanding increases, the value of each share is reduced proportionately, so the total market capitalization remains the same.
