Stock splits have become rare on Wall Street in recent years, with just three S&P 500 members announcing splits in 2020, compared to an average of 10 a year over the past decade, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. Amazon’s shares cost $3,051 each, while an Alphabet share sells for $1,538 and Chipotle Mexican Grill’s shares cost $1,148.
“Stock splits have become far and few between because people no longer care if it’s a $500 or $100 stock, because investors can now buy fractions of shares,” said Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices.
