A tool designed to estimate the impact of stock splits on shares of General Electric (GE). It allows users to determine the number of shares they would possess and the adjusted cost basis per share following a split event. For example, if an investor owned 100 shares before a 2-for-1 split, the calculator would show they now own 200 shares. It is important to understand how it uses factors such as how many shares are owned and the date of the stock split in order to get the adjusted shares owned and share prices after the split
This computational aid is valuable for investors tracking portfolio performance and calculating capital gains or losses for tax purposes after the GE stock split. By providing clarity on share adjustments, such instruments facilitate informed decision-making regarding investments. Understanding stock splits helps investors ensure accurate portfolio record-keeping and manage their holdings effectively over time.
