It is a secret to no one that Nvidia dominates the semiconductor market, a key element in the development of artificial intelligence (IA) and that has helped the company’s profits increase to triple digits in recent years. Now, the firm announced an event that twill have a significant impact on your actions and, therefore, in the cedars, which can be accessed in the Buenos Aires plaza.
And analysts maintain that the AI market could be worth more than US$1 trillion by the end of the decade. So it is not surprising that the actions of Nvidia have risen like foam, given that They advanced 600% in the last three years.
Nvidia shares surpassed the u$s1,000 after the company announced another spectacular quarter in May, along with a move that many investors were expecting: a stock split. This will significantly reduce the price of each company’s paper and several analysts gave Ambit your opinion on the matter.
“Split”: what it is and what is its impact
The first thing to clarify is that this movement It does not change the market value of a company, nor the position that the investor has in the company’s shares.. On the other hand, stock splitting reduces the price of each paper by offering more shares to holders and the proportion of “split” determines the number of papers each investor will receive.
In the case of Nvidia, It’s a 10 to 1 split, so for every share the investor owns, they will receive an additional nine. At current prices of around US$1,139each individual share will now sell for US$113. The only requirement to benefit from this operation is to be a registered shareholder until June 6, while the additional shares will be distributed after the market closes next Friday.
As explained Ignacio Sniechowski, Head of Equity Investing in the Stock Market Group (IEB)In theory, a “split” of shares does not in itself produce effects on the value of the share. Just because It is not a capitalization, there is no genuine income of money to the company.
On the contrary, what produces a “split” It is a reduction in the nominal value of each of the shares, by giving each investor 9 for each one they own (10 in total). “That is to say, an investor who had 1 share of $NVDA will receive 9 more shares, totaling 10 shares, and the price will adjust accordingly,” the analyst explains. Here, what usually happens is that the paper becomes more “attainable” for a greater number of investors, since after this process, a share would be worth US$108.50 per share.
Cedears: what is the impact
But the big question for the local investor is how it impacts the Argentine Certificates of Deposit (Cedears). Damian PalaisFinancial Advisor of Cocos Capitalmaintains that this change will of course have an impact on these instruments, since they share the same logic.
“If you have 20 Nvidia Cedears, which today are trading around $55,000, you would have a total holding of $1,100,000. Now, with the ‘split’, you will have 200 nominal values where each one will quote $5,500, but the total holding will remain intact, at $1,100,000“, Explain.
In conclusion, a “split” It does not affect the monetary holding, which remains intact, but the investor will have more nominal values.. “Which provides this asset with more liquidity in the market by trading for smaller amounts,” says Palais.
Sniechowski agrees that, specifically, in the case of $NVDA It is difficult to determine if in the short term this effect will be of the magnitude that it was in the case of $GOOGL (see the graph) due to the rally that the company has been having in recent months.
“But without a doubt, in the medium and long term, it is positive news for the stock, since it will provide it with greater liquidity (in nominal terms) and, therefore, lower spread between bid/ask”, in addition to what was mentioned above, being within the reach of a much larger retail audience.
Stocks: what should the investor do?
As Sniechowski explains, “If I already have Nvidia shares, obviously I am not going to sell them before a split. Quite the oppositeIn any case, I would wait to see if what normally happens with shares with such high nominal values is verified,” he says.
Another option for those who did not add this stock or Cedear to their portfolios, buy to see, it can be a gamble. Although given the tremendous rally that the company has been having, “it is difficult to know if this will be a catalyst for an even greater rise, but, of course, it is good news,” warns Sniechowski.

Meanwhile, Palais reminds that the recommendation, whether positive or negative, for a company that makes a “split”, does not change. What the strategist is referring to is that the company’s fundamentals remain the same. What you are looking for, cAs mentioned above, the asset can be traded for smaller amounts, providing greater accessibility to it.so adding this stock to portfolios before June 6 could result in a great bet.
