When a stock split occurs, the number of outstanding shares increases, while their individual value decreases proportionally.
For example, in a 1-for-4 split, each share will be worth one-fourth of its pre-split price, while the total number of shares quadruples.
Trading timings after a stock split:
A stock split may cause a price gap at market opening and increased volatility.
To protect traders from stop-outs due to unpredictable conditions, trading will resume 15 minutes after the session opens.
If abnormal market conditions persist, this delay may be extended.
