<p>A <b>stock split</b> or <b>stock divide</b> increases the number of <a href="page.php?w=Share_%28finance%29">shares</a> in a <a href="page.php?w=company">company</a>. For example, after a 2-for-1 split, each investor will own double the number of shares, and each share will be worth half as much. A stock split causes a decrease of market price of individual shares, but does not change the total <a href="page.php?w=market_capitalization">market capitalization</a> of the company: <a href="page.php?w=stock_dilution">stock dilution</a> does not occur.</p><p>
