Michelin Stock Split

June 10, 2022 | monetaeditor

Dear Trader,

Please be advised of the upcoming MICHELIN. (ML) stock split that is going to take place as per the following schedule:

  • Ex-Date: June 16th, 2022. Common shares will trade at the new split-adjusted price.

What is a stock split?

A stock split is a corporate action taken by companies that have seen their share price increase to levels that are either too high or are beyond the price levels of similar companies in their sector, to divide their existing shares into two or more shares.

Why do stocks split?

The primary motive is to make the shares more affordable to small investors even though the underlying value of the company has not changed. MICHELIN would like its stock to be more accessible to a broader base of investors.

What is the split ratio?

MICHELIN also announced it will split its stock in a 4 for 1 offering. 

What will this split mean to investors?

Each share of MICHELIN stock that an investor owns before Ex-Date (June 16th, 2022) will be eligible for stock split. Investors will receive three additional shares and the stock price will be quartered. 

Here is an example:

 Pre-SplitPost-SplitAs of July 20, 2021
Shares held100 shares400 sharesShares are multiplied by 4
Share Price120 per share$30 per shareShare price is divided by 4
Value$12,000$12,000Total value remains equal

If an investor owns 100 shares and the market price is $120, $160 as take profit. After 4 for 1 stock split, the investor will own 100*4= 400 shares and the estimated post-split price would be $120/4 = $30, and the take profit price will adjust to $160/4=$40.  

All pending orders: Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Stop, Buy Stop Limit, Sell Stop Limit, will be deleted.

Does the 4 for 1 stock split mean the value of my MICHELIN shares will increase three times? 

Unfortunately, not. As stated in the above example, the increase in the number of stocks means every share is now worth less than its previous value, precisely, it’ll be 1/4th the previous value.

How do stock splits affect short sellers?

Stock splits do not affect short sellers in a material way. There are some changes that occur as a result of a split that affects the short position, but they don’t affect the value of the short position(s). 

If you have any questions about any of these changes, please contact our Client Service team or your Account Manager.
