What
Apple's Stock Split Means for You
--------------
In
a stock split， a company increases the number of shares outstanding while lowering
the price accordingly. Splits don't change anything fundamentally about a
company or its valuation， but they tend to make a
company's stock more attractive to mom-and-pop investors. Apple shares rallied
23% from late April，when the company announced the split
in conjunction with a strong quarterly report， through
Friday.
蘋(píng)果公司拆股的意義
--------------
通過(guò)拆股，上市公司增加了發(fā)行在外的股份數量，同時(shí)相應地降低了股價(jià)。拆股不會(huì )對一家公司的基本面或估值產(chǎn)生任何影響，但往往會(huì )增加股票對散戶(hù)投資者的吸引力。截至上周五，蘋(píng)果公司股價(jià)較4月底上漲了23%。該公司于4月底宣布了股份拆分計劃，同時(shí)公布了表現強勁的季度財報。
