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.
苹果公司拆股的意义
--------------
通过拆股，上市公司增加了发行在外的股份数量，同时相应地降低了股价。拆股不会对一家公司的基本面或估值产生任何影响，但往往会增加股票对散户投资者的吸引力。截至上周五，苹果公司股价较4月底上涨了23%。该公司于4月底宣布了股份拆分计划，同时公布了表现强劲的季度财报。
