Amazon, Inc. (trading symbol: AMZN) has announced a 20-for-1 forward stock split in its shares of common stock, effective before market open on Monday, June 6, 2022.
Our records show that you have a stock and/or options position in Amazon in your account, so we want to be sure you have the information you need.
Here’s What You Should Know
The 20-for-1 forward split means that for every share of Amazon stock you own at market close on June 3, you’ll receive 20 shares of (new) Amazon stock to replace it.
The stock price will be affected by this event: it will decrease to one-twentieth of what it was at the close of trading on Friday, June 3. When the markets open on Monday, June 6, your net position value in Amazon will be equal to what it was before the split, plus or minus market movements.
For example, if you owned one share, and the price at market close on June 3 was $2,200, before market open on June 6 you’d own 20 shares, each worth $110.
Historically, these splits usher in a whole new group of smaller investors that were uncomfortable with owning 1 share at the higher price. Generally, speaking such splits result in a short term boost in market cap, as these investors rush to acquisition at the more affordable price, that out performs the overall market.
Large Institutional Investors hate these splits, because it increases their costs when the reallocate, because they usually pay brokerage fees, etc. on a per share basis. a 20 - 1 split makes it literally twenty times more expensive to add or reduce their postion in the company.
