BAK Split History

Braskem S A (BAK) has 1 split in our BAK split history database. The split for BAK took place on May 16, 2005.

For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 2000 share position following the split.

When a company such as Braskem S A splits its shares, the market capitalization before and after the split takes place remains stable, meaning the shareholder now owns more shares but each are valued at a lower price per share. Often, however, a lower priced stock on a per-share basis can attract a wider range of buyers. If that increased demand causes the share price to appreciate, then the total market capitalization rises post-split. This does not always happen, however, often depending on the underlying fundamentals of the business.
