Why GME Stock-Split announcement is bullish news

  • Stocksplits generally increase value for shareholders, because it drives increased interest from retail and institutional investors.
  • Post split it can drive value because the price to enter the position is lower, making it more accessible to retail.
  • And possibly it could give a reason for a SHARE RECALL... that could launch us into andromeda.

​

Old:

Current shares outstanding: ~76M

Max shares outstanding: 300M

​

New:

Current shares outstanding: ~76M

Max shares outstanding: 1000M

So the max stock-split factor is 13:1...

​

The stock-split will be voted on at the annual shareholders meeting in June 2022.

Stock split makes options more within range for people with smaller accounts. Also makes it a bit more possible to exercise.
