These are the upcoming stock splits for the week of October 21 to October 25, based on TipRanks’ Stock Splits Calendar. A stock split is a corporate action in which the company issues additional common shares to increase the number of outstanding shares. Accordingly, the stock price of the company’s shares decreases, which maintains the market capitalization before and after the split.
In contrast, there are also reverse stock splits that reduce the number of outstanding shares (consolidate). In this case, too, the market cap is maintained as the share price increases following the reverse stock split.
Companies often undertake stock splits to improve the liquidity of the common shares and make them more affordable for retail investors. Let’s look quickly at the upcoming stock splits for the week.
Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. (ZCAR) – India-based Zoomcar is an online marketplace for self-drive car sharing.

On October 18, Zoomcar announced a one-for-100 reverse stock split of its common stock to take effect after the market closes on October 21. Shares are expected to start trading on a split-adjusted basis on October 22. The step was taken to increase the per share trading price and comply with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements.
