Understanding Stock Splits

Stock splits, like the 50 to 1 split done by Chipotle, do not change the value of owning the stock. The split divides shares to make trading easier; for retail investors, the lower share price may seem more affordable, but the value remains the same. Companies might split stocks to increase options trading and liquidity, benefiting investors.
