Better Stock-Split Stock to Buy Right Now: Amazon or Alphabet?
The first six months of 2022 have been marked by wild volatility and market-moving news events, such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the Federal Reserve's largest rate hike in more than a quarter-century. Yet amid this steady diet of news, investors have become ever more fascinated with companies announcing 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. Enacting a forward stock split is a way companies can make their shares more nominally affordable for retail investors who might not have access to fractional-share investing.
