1. Apple — 4-for-1 split

It means that the price of Apple stock will be 4 times lower than usual.

For example, if the stock costs $400, it will cost only $100.

If you already trade Apple stocks, after August 31 your assets will increase fourfold!

2. Tesla — 5-for-1 split

It means that instead of one Tesla stock, you will have 5! And the price will be lower.

For example, if the stock costs $1 800, it will cost only $360.

Consequently, after August 31, Tesla stocks will be more accessible.

For Example:

A client is long 5 lots (500 shares) of CFD_AAPL @ 490.56.

The client’s investment is worth USD245,280 (500 shares x 490.56). CFD_AAPL is subject to 1-for-4 stock split.

The position is closed @ 490.56 (the original opening price). The P/L is $0.

The position is re-opened:

5 lots become 20 lots (4 x 500 = 2,000 shares) @ 122.64 (490.56/4 = 122.64).

The client is now long 20 lots (2,000 shares) @ 122.64.

The value of the client’s investment remains unchanged at USD245,280 (2,000 shares x 122.64).
