NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) announced a stock split that will go into effect on July 20. Other companies, such as Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) have seen their shares do well following stock splits last year. NVIDIA's shares are expensive, but on the other hand, the company is quickly growing and has potential for more in the coming years. For long-term investors, NVIDIA could be a solid investment, although waiting for a correction to get a more favorable entry price could pay off.
The announced stock split will go into effect on July 20. On that day, NVIDIA's shares are split at a 4-1 rate, which will make the share count grow to ~2.5 billion on a fully diluted basis. Shares should then trade for a little around $200, all else equal.
Every shareholder will have four times the number of shares, but those shares prices will be split by the ratio of four. Below is an example of how the split will be reflected if you are holding NVDA.OQ in your CFI account:
