The Massive Google Alphabet forward stock split for July 2022
American multinational technology company Alphabet parent company of Google will be having a forward stock split.
The massive google-Alphabet for July 2022 will be a 20-for-1 stock split on July 15, 2022.
A stock split is when a company divides or multiplies its existing shares, causing the stock available to increase in a forward stock, and decrease in a reverse stock split. and As a result, the price of each share is reduced without impacting the overall value of the business in a forward split, in the same the opposite would in a reverse split.
For example, in a forward split, a 2-for-1 stock split would mean every existing investor will receive 2 shares for each 1 they already own. If they held 20 shares before the stock split, they would have 40 shares after the split is completed.
To use the Shopify ticker symbol (SHOP) as an example: its Class A shares began trading on a split-adjusted basis on June 29, 2022, Shopify was trading at 349.00 on June 28, and with a 10 for 1 forward split in effect on June 29th shop was now trading for 34.90 per share
Although each individual share would be worth less after the split, shareholders won’t lose any capital. For example, if the share price before the 2-for-1 split was $10 per share, then afterward the shareholder would have two shares at $5 each.
stock splits often make previously ‘expensive’ shares more attractive to retail investors and this is likely to be the case for GOOGL given the popularity of the brand and reputation of the stock.
