A stock split is a corporate action where a company divides its existing shares into multiple new shares. The total market value of the shares remains unchanged, but the number of shares increases in a specific ratio (like 1:2, 1:5, or 1:10). This makes individual shares more affordable and improves market liquidity.
For example, in a 1:5 stock split, 1 share becomes 5 shares, and each new share is priced at one-fifth of the original share price.
How does it affect FYERS users?
- Your holdings will automatically reflect the adjusted quantity and price after the corporate action.
- The value of your total holdings remains unchanged immediately post-split.
- Any adjustments are typically visible in your FYERS portfolio within 1–2 business days.
What If...
| Scenario | Explanation |
|---|
| I don't see the updated share quantity | Wait for 1–2 business days. FYERS processes stock splits after receiving confirmation from exchanges. |
| The stock price looks unusually low | That’s expected. The price adjusts in proportion to the split ratio. No value is lost. |
| My average buy price or P&L looks incorrect | These values update automatically based on the new quantity. Temporary discrepancies will self-correct shortly. |
| I’m unsure whether a stock split occurred | You can verify corporate actions on NSE/BSE websites or check FYERS notifications. |
If you're unsure about the stock split details, you can check corporate actions in the company's filings or on NSE/BSE announcements.
