By Michael Wursthorn
The stock splits of Apple Inc. and Tesla Inc. take effect Monday. These change the stock price and not much else, but they can be confusing anyway.
Stock splits rarely happen these days. Once nearly a given when shares topped $100 or so, stock splits have all but disappeared from the corporate playbook. Stock splits by companies in the S&P 500 faded from prominence after the dot-com bust in 2000, while those by companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average are even less frequent.
Here, The Wall Street Journal tackles the ins and outs of stock splits, from how they work to why they happen less often.
What is a stock split?
Each company shareholder at the close of business on the day the stock split goes into effect will receive additional shares for every share they hold. If a company announces a 4-for-1 stock split, the shareholder will get three additional shares. The price of the original share will be divided by four, so that a share trading at $400 would trade at $100 after the split.
Stock splits help entice investors who might be put off by a high share price. But that might be less relevant now than in the past. Brokerages such as Charles Schwab Corp. give clients the option of buying a fraction of a share for as little as $5, opening up a range of pricey stocks to mom-and-pop investors.
What happens to the company's dividend?
It depends on what the board decides. If the company holds its dividend steady, its next payout would split along the same lines as the stock -- a dividend of $1 after a 4-for-1 stock split would be 25 cents.
What happens to options bets?
Options contracts owned at the time of the split are recalculated through a process known as "being made whole." The Options Clearing Corp. has rules and procedures in place to modify contracts so that the holder isn't affected by the split. The contract is adjusted to reflect the new price and number of shares, but its value remains the same.
In a 4-for-1 split, a call options contract that covered 100 shares with a strike price of $100 each would cover 400 shares with a strike price of $25.
What happens to fractional shares of companies that split?
Again using the example of a 4-for-1 split, investors who hold less than one share ahead of the split will receive three additional fractional share equivalents. An investor holding half a share before the split will end up holding two shares after the split. An investor holding a quarter of a presplit share will end up with one share afterward. Anyone with less than a quarter share will hold a fractional share following the split.
What does a stock split mean for the company?
Other than a lower stock price and more shares outstanding, mostly nothing. Splits don't affect a company's value, although they have a history of generating a short-term pop in a company's stock price.
Stocks in the S&P 500 tend to rise 5% in the year following share splits, including 2.5% immediately following the announcement, according to research from Nasdaq Inc. on splits between 2012 and 2018.
Recent gains have been bigger in some cases. Shares of Apple have risen 30% since July 30, when the company announced its split, while Tesla's stock has added 63% since the Aug. 11 unveiling of its plans. Many investors say the outsize reactions to those splits reflect factors including novice traders' embrace of technology favorites during a year of pandemic-related disruption and the perception that a stock split ratifies a firm's perceived competitive strength.
What does this mean for the stock market?
In most cases, stock splits have no impact on the broader stock market. The S&P 500, the index most closely followed by many investors and portfolio managers, is weighted by firms' market value, so a split has no impact. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a different story. A stock split won't shave any points from the blue-chip index, but it will make a splitting stock less influential in it.
The Dow is a price-weighted index, meaning the higher the share price, the bigger the influence that stock has over the index's daily price swings. In addition to causing the stock to have a smaller role in the Dow's moves, the change could affect the performance gap between the 30-stock index and the broader S&P 500.
How popular are stock splits now?
Splits certainly don't seem to be in vogue despite the moves at Apple and Tesla. About 41% of the stocks in the S&P 500 currently trade above $100, the level that conventional wisdom once held would spur executives to consider a split. Three companies in the S&P 500, including Apple, have unveiled plans for share splits in 2020. That is down from 102 companies in 1997 and seven in 2016, according to Schwab. Tesla isn't a component of the index.
And several stocks that haven't split in recent years have continued to rally. Amazon, for instance, hasn't split its stock in more than two decades, and its shares have climbed to $3,400. Two of Alphabet's share classes trade above $1,600.
Even bigger is Berkshire Hathaway. Its Class A shares trade above $325,000. Another class it created in 1996 to help encourage more participation by individual investors trades above $200 and is in the S&P 500. Berkshire split shares of that second class in 2010.
Why were stock splits more popular in the past?
Companies were more likely to split their shares in the past in part because of the mechanics of trading. Trading wasn't powered by fast-moving digital systems and was costlier to small investors. Buyers got better prices if they were willing to buy round lots of 100 shares rather than so-called odd lots, which carried steeper commissions. A share split helped keep stock prices in check for investors who were willing to buy blocks of 100 shares at a time.
Commissions largely don't exist anymore at most do-it-yourself brokerages, such as Schwab and TD Ameritrade Holding Corp., eliminating that concern. Still, most institutional investors continue to prefer blocks of shares since the price often quoted on an exchange is for a round lot, according to Phil Mackintosh, Nasdaq's chief economist.
Target Corp. said on a June earnings call that advances in trading technology and free commissions have made stock splits less necessary. PepsiCo Inc. dismissed the idea in May, blaming administrative costs that it said would outweigh any potential benefits.
What options do investors have for high-priced stocks that don't split?
They have three options: paying up; buying shares of other firms that trade for less; or purchasing a fraction of a share, an alternative recently offered by some retail brokerages.
But fractional shares come with a caveat: Buyers don't get the actual share. Instead, the brokerage does, and investors have a right to whatever portion they agree to buy -- which means proportional dividend and voting rights, among other things.

20220826 Example de Stock Split avec le Split de Tesla 1 x 3 du25-Aout-2022
Stratégie de Day Trading
Une bonne Stratégie semble être d'acheter un ou 2 jours avant puis de vendre rapidement après l'ouverture, dans la 1er minute pour profiter du Gap Haussier généré par le Split.
Note : Vendre dans la première minute est pratiquement impossible !!!
Note : ici je parle de l'ouverture du Marché Européen - USA c'est à dire à 10h du matin FR.
Ce qui corresponds en faire à la Second Over Night Session aux USA qui commence à 4h du Matin US.
Ensuite nous voyons une chute importante dans les minutes suivantes
donc un SHORT aurait été profitable !
Note : Ni sur eTrade, ni sur TastyWork, je peux Trader sur la Second Over Night Session alors que sur ProRealTime - IBKR, oui, je peux Trader dès 10h du matin FR sur les Stock USA (donc 4h matin US)
Note: Tesla avait eu une chute beaucoup plus importante le 05-aout-2022
PS : J'utilise ProRealTime pour démontrer le scénario car cela nous présente clairement le tableau des chiffres clés pour chacune des chandelles
Voici les Graphes en Journalier à gauche , puis sur 1 heure à droite
Voici les Graphes en 15min à gauche, puis sur 5min à droite
