Split Adjusted

  

This is what their lives were like after Khloe and Lamar divorced.

"Split adjusted" refers to the new earnings per share numbers after a stock split. So if a company had $200 million in earnings and 50 million shares outstanding, then it had $4 a share in earnings. The stock was trading for $160 a share, and the company decided to do a share split to make it less costly for buyers of its stock to buy a round lot of 100 shares.

So the new split was a fourfer. That is, for each unit of old stock, you would receive 4 shares of new stock. The company, post-split, had 200 million shares outstanding and the same $200 million in earnings, now earning $1 a share, instead of $4. And the stock, which was trading for $160 a share, should now drop 4x to trade at $40 a share. These are all of the post-split, split adjusted numbers.

Now go out there and buy 100 shares, and make the Board proud.
