Drawing from the trading range theory and signaling theory, the research analyzes daily data over a five-year period (2015-2020) for 31 purposively sampled companies. The analytical methods employed include descriptive statistics, normality tests, and paired sample t-tests. The findings reveal significant differences in both stock prices and stock returns before and after stock splits.
