STOCK DISCUSSIONS
STOCK DISCUSSIONS
I have to research 3 Web sites that contain examples of stock dividends, stock splits, and reverse splits.?
Yahoo Finance at http://finance.yahoo.com is a good starting point for locating
these Web sites.
Give a description of the Web site examples you found, including the location (URLs) of
the Web sites, A discussion about the reasons for stock dividends, stock splits, and reverse splits
o An explanation of how stock dividends, stock splits, and reverse splits affect the firm
and the investor, and give definitions of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse splits, and effects on per share
calculations. I already have my definitions, just know what the other things are wanting, This is for ACC 230 and is due week four day seven. Can anybody explain to me what is being requested with the other things needed in this assignment?
Dividends are simply another way of sharing a companies profits with its owners (shareholders). Some investors like the dividend paying stocks because there is a little bit of an income stream with owning the company, it can off-set some of the dips in the market, and it shows that they have a good cash position.
Stock splits are a way kind of price targeting. Some companies like to keep their share price relatively low, that makes it easier for investors to come in, buy, sell and trade. BRK.A is 100,000 or so a share, the retail investor can't play that game. PG typically splits at 90 to keep the share price around 45-50.
A reverse split is never really a good sign in my opinion. To stay listed on the NYSE for example the stock have to average above $1 for a certain amount of trading days. When a stock is under $1 for a certain period of time, they do a reverse split to increase the price and stay listed.
As far as the company goes stock splits and reverse splits shouldn't have any impact on the functioning or financing of the company.
There is a total number of shares outstanding. On a pershare basis you take (earnings - preferred dividends) / avg shares outstanding.
A working example of that...
Company A has 2000 shares outstanding, they make $2000 and pay 0 preferred dividends
$2000 - 0 / 2000 = earnings of $1 per share, then take an average price to earning multiple of 15. The company would trade for $15 a share.
Then they decide to do a split 5 to 1. Nothing about the companies earnings change, they just have 10,000 shares outstanding now. So $2000 - 0 / 10000 = $0.20 earnings per share, apply an avg multiple of 15 the stock now trades for $3.
On the other hand they decide to do a reverse split 1 to 5. They reduce the shares outstanding to 400, nothing else changes as a result. $2000 - 0 / 400 = $5 EPS apple a PE multiple of $15 the stock now trades for $75.
Investopedia.com is a great site.
