[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunwoo Lee] Tesla, a leading American electric vehicle company, is undergoing a 3-for-1 stock split, and its stock price is expected to adjust to around $300 starting from the 25th (local time).

According to CNBC on the 24th (local time), Tesla announced that it will implement the stock split starting on the 25th, trading at one-third of the closing price on the 24th. Earlier, on the 4th, Tesla had resolved at the shareholders' meeting to carry out a 3-for-1 stock split.

On that day, Tesla closed at $891.29, up 0.22% from the previous session on the New York Stock Exchange. Accordingly, reflecting the split ratio, Tesla is expected to start trading at $297 per share from the 25th. Existing Tesla investors will receive two additional shares for every one share they currently hold due to the stock split, effectively tripling their holdings.

Stock splits generally do not significantly affect the overall market capitalization, but by lowering the stock price and thus reducing the entry barrier for stock purchases, they increase accessibility for investors, acting as a positive factor for stock price appreciation. The U.S. economic media Forbes predicted, "Since the stock price will be lowered to a level affordable for individual investors, it will lead to a short-term rise in the stock price."
