  "account": "Three companies have announced record dates for upcoming stock splits next week, according to recent reports. The move aims to make shares more accessible to retail investors and boost trading volumes.\n\nTaal Tech has set September 22 as the record date for its 1:5 stock split. This means every share held on the record date will be split into five shares, with no change in the company's overall market capitalization. Investors need to buy the shares by Monday, the day before the record date, to ensure the shares are credited to their demat accounts in time.\n\nMidwest Energy is conducting a 1:10 stock split on September 25. With this split, an investor holding 10 shares worth Rs 10 each would end up with 100 shares worth Rs 1 each, keeping the total value unchanged at Rs 100. The company's shares have seen a decline of over 25% in 2026 but gained 52% in the past year.\n\nNaturite Agro Products announced a 1:2 stock split, also on September 25. In this case, a share would be split into two, making an investor with 10 shares worth Rs 10 each own 20 shares worth Rs 5 each, while the total value remains at Rs 100. The company's shares have dropped 31% in 2026 but declined nearly 50% over the past year.",
