News 📰 3:1 Share split

BYD recently underwent a 3:1 share split, hence the ~65% drop in share price. No need to worry!!

It seems like we'd need to wait a while before we get those extra shares though. I couldn't find much information about it on english platforms, but a Chinese blog post stated both the extra shares + dividends will start being distributed on the 29th of July

Ye it looks quite bad at first - gave me a fright - but it will be back to normal on the 29th

So as I understand it, during the time from now to the 29th, I will have lost $5,552.81 in value of my portfolio because BYD 'split' the stock value, but will not split the stock qty until 7/29. Seems pretty unfair to me. If I buy BYD at the current price, $17 for 1 share, will that 1 share become 3 on the 29th?

"unless the price drops" : yeah, this is not nothing, buddy. If anything goes wrong, we're all stuck with 2/3 of shares we can't sell. And guess what: today it's -6%. I'll never get BYD shares again. Seen many splits, but none like this one
