Exness Stock split

What Is a Stock Split?

A stock split is when a company divides its existing shares into multiple new shares to increase liquidity and make the stock more affordable to retail investors. For example, in a 2-for-1 split, every share becomes two, and the price per share is halved.

With Exness, when a stock split occurs for an underlying asset, your open CFD positions are adjusted accordingly. You don’t lose or gain value during the adjustment — but the lot size and opening price change to reflect the new share structure.

How Exness Stock Split Affects Traders

Exness Stock split events are handled through automated position adjustments. Here's what typically happens when a stock you are trading is split:

Key Effects:

• The number of shares (lots) you hold is multiplied by the split ratio.
• The open price of your position is adjusted inversely.
• The total position value remains unchanged.
• Pending orders on affected assets may be canceled and need to be reviewed.

This is important because if you're not aware of the split, your charts might look off or your stop loss levels could be misaligned.

Common Types of Stock Splits

Stock splits can happen in different forms. Here’s a list of the most common ones:

Forward Splits:

• 2-for-1: Every share becomes two, price halved
• 3-for-1: Every share becomes three, price divided by 3
• 4-for-1: Multiplies the share count by 4

Reverse Splits:

• 1-for-2: Every two shares become one, price doubled
• 1-for-10: Ten shares become one, price increased tenfold

Exness reflects both types in your account by automatically recalculating volume and price.
