If you are referring to a forward split that would be the case - a 3:1 split would give you three shares for every one you own but the price would be one third of the presplit price and the shares outstanding would triple. But if a company is just plain diluting - issuing shares that is not the case. You will still own the same amount of shares you did as you purchased and the price would most probably drop but not all the time depending on other things going on such as news, filings, etc. When shares are increased it does not necessarily mean that the share structure changes as with a forward split.
