AvalonBay Communities executed a 2.793-for-1 stock split on August 17, 2026. Every share held became roughly 2.79 shares, with the price per share scaling down proportionally. A holder's total position value is unchanged — more shares at a lower price equals the same economic stake.
For the short side, the mechanics mirror the holder experience. Borrowed share counts adjust by the same 2.793 ratio, so short positions grow in share terms while the per-share price falls by the equivalent amount. Cost to borrow stands at 0.45% annually — well within normal range — and availability in the lending pool remains loose, so the borrow market shows no sign of stress around this event.
