FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

How Does a Cincinnati Financial Share Split Work?

A Cincinnati Financial stock split is no different than any other stock split. Cincinnati Financial is simply packaging the number of outstanding shares in a different way. For example, in a 2-for-1 split, the amount of shares will double (and the price will be divided by 2, accordingly). Say you have 100 shares of Cincinnati Financial, then the day of the split you will receive 2 shares for every 1 share you hold in your brokerage account, meaning you will receive 200 shares on the stock split date. However, the price of the stock will reflect this change and your holding of Cincinnati Financial (in terms of value) will remain practically the same.

Benefits of a Cincinnati Financial Stock Split?

A stock split does not change the fundamental value of a company. Meaning a Cincinnati Financial stock split will not make the business more valuable. However, there is a psychological benefit in that the share price will be lower after the split, making shares seem more accessible to everyone and thus temporarily increasing demand and ramping up share prices.

How Does a Stock Split Affect $CINF Options?

A stock split affects options the same way it affect shares. In the case of a 2-for-1, the strike price of all the options chain post-split will be divided by 2 automatically. So if you're holding CALLs or PUTs, the strike price of the $CINF option will be automatically changed on the day of the split. Also, the number of shares will double. So if you have a CALL in a 2-for-1, after split you will have 2 calls to control 200 shares, and the strike price of those two CALLs would be halved.

Cincinnati Financial Shares Split and Fractional Shares
