A stock split increases the number of shares and proportionally reduces the price. A 2-for-1 split doubles shares and halves the price. Splits don't change total value—they make shares more accessible. Reverse splits reduce shares and raise price.
Example
2-for-1 split: 100 shares at $200 become 200 shares at $100.
