Stock Splits And Record Dates
BEML Ltd. is also set to split from Rs 10 to Rs 5 per share in the ratio 1:2. And the record date will be Nov. 3.
While these actions increase the liquidity of the stock by making the share price lower and more accessible to a wider range of investors, it is important to remember that they do not affect the overall market value of an investor's total holding. The total investment value remains unchanged as the share price adjusts proportionally to the split ratio on the ex-date.
