CorporateAction.io — Interactive Corporate Event Impact Calculator

A web tool where retail investors input their holdings, stock price, and a specific corporate action (share split, secondary offering, dilution %, buyback), and the calculator shows real-time impact on share count, cost basis, portfolio value, and EPS. Includes scenario modeling (e.g., 'What if they issue 20M new shares?') and historical case studies showing how similar events played out for real stocks.

Original Problem

Individual investors struggle to understand how corporate actions like share dilution affect their stock valuations

Retail investors lack clear, accessible explanations of how specific corporate events (share splits, secondary offerings, float increases) impact stock prices and their portfolio value. They turn to forums and Q&A sites because financial advisors are expensive, brokerage platforms don't explain mechanics clearly, and financial media oversimplifies complex scenarios. This knowledge gap leads to poor investment decisions and anxiety about holdings.
