Buy/Sell stock shares in a company how it works?

As an individual shareholder, your existing ownership stake doesn’t automatically increase when the stock price rises or falls. In other words, changes in stock prices do not directly impact the number of shares you own. However, when a company decides to split its stock, it can either offer you more shares or lower the share count. This move is based on the company’s health and strategic decisions. Remember that stock splits are a deliberate corporate action, whereas day-to-day price fluctuations do not directly affect your share count. When it comes to adding more shares, direct cash injection (such as buying additional shares) is the primary method for individual investors.
