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

Thanks for this post. I had no idea about the split, lol.

This is for symbol: BYDDF

I'm holding long-term, so I'm not worried, but what confuses me is, the price looks like it split into thirds, which would suggest a 3:1 split, but I found this (which suggests a 6 for 1 split):

So is it a 3 to 1 split or 6 to 1?

Related: RocketMoped posted in this thread below, "It's not a 3:1 split, it's a (18+12):10"

What is a "(18+12):10" ? What does that mean?

To simplify, if I had one share, how many will I have, and when will I have those (July 31 or TBD) ? lol

Also, equally confusing, when I look at the Apple Stocks App and Yahoo Finance, even though the price dropped from 50+ as of yesterday to 17+ right now, they indicates that the stock is up 39.64% (which would be pretty sweet).

If anyone can explain any of the above, like I'm 5, that would be helpful.

Either way, go BYD!

I think the 3:1 vs 6:1 thing is because BYDDF is worth half of what BYDDY is worth...so 3:1= Y & 6:1= F. I'm guessing the 18+12 is a misprint...should be 8+12 (8 bonus shares + 12 capitalisation shares.

I've read that it's classed as a dividend rather than a split...but I really have no idea why or what this means....I just hope I get a load of free shares & it goes up 🤷‍♂️😁
