Better Stock-Split Stock to Buy Right Now: Amazon, Alphabet, Tesla, or Shopify?
Wall Street and investors have been hit with a flurry of news events in 2022, including historically high inflation and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Yet amid this market volatility, the investing community has become fixated on companies announcing and enacting stock splits.
A stock split is a way for a publicly traded company to alter its share price and outstanding share count without affecting its market cap or operating performance. A forward stock split can be particularly helpful to retail investors who don't have access to fractional-share investing. The execution of a split can lower the nominal-dollar cost to purchase a single share of stock.
