High stock prices can make shares difficult for investors to access, prompting companies, particularly in the tech sector, to implement stock splits. When a company splits its stocks, it issues additional shares to current holders without changing the total value of holdings. This makes shares more affordable, enhances investor accessibility, and often indicates company optimism about its growth potential. Noteworthy examples include Alphabet, which executed a stock split in 2022 and subsequently saw its shares rise over 40%. While splits enhance accessibility, they aren't direct catalysts for stock performance.
Stock splits provide an effective way for companies to manage high share prices, increase accessibility for investors, and signal confidence in future stock performance.
Companies like Nvidia and Broadcom have used stock splits to maintain lower share prices, while still allowing room for potential stock surges after a split.
