Stock dilution발음듣기
Stock dilution
Obviously, very few companies have only four shares, but this will simplify the explanation.발음듣기
And let's say that each of those shares right now they're trading in the market, or I guess we could say the last transaction that's occurred in trading in the shares, they're trading at $2 a share.발음듣기
So if there's four of these shares times $2, the market is saying that this company's assets are worth exactly $8 right over here.발음듣기
The market value of the assets is the same thing as a market cap in this case because we have no liabilities.발음듣기
Now what I want to think about is what happens if the company wants to raise some more money?발음듣기
Let's say that they want to issue some more shares and sell them to raise some money to buy a factory or whatever.발음듣기
So what they literally do is the board approves for them to literally create two more shares.발음듣기
And then the company goes, they get an investment banker, and they do a secondary offering in the public markets.발음듣기
Normally when you increase the supply a little bit, you won't get quite what the previous market value was, but you get roughly $2 a share for simplicity.발음듣기
And by selling two shares that it just created for $2 a share, the company is able to raise another $4.발음듣기
When you think about dilution, it's like you could imagine if you have a sweet syrup and if you add water to it, it becomes less sweet.발음듣기
If you are the owner of this share over here before the share offering up here, you owned 25% of the company.발음듣기
But sometimes the dilution takes on another meaning, that somehow because more shares are being used for the ownership of the same company, that maybe these shares are worth less.발음듣기
There is dilution in the percentage you own, but there is not dilution in what the shares are worth.발음듣기
Because before, if you had four shares representing something that is worth $8, now you have six shares representing something that is $12.발음듣기
So you have $12 of assets, no liabilities, six shares, $12 divided by six shares is still $2 a share.발음듣기
