3 Trillion-Dollar Giants That Could Be the Next Big Stock-Split Plays
Micron, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms could soon split their shares, and investors have different reasons to keep watching each of them.
Three major companies, each with a market capitalization exceeding $1 trillion, are potential candidates for a stock split according to recent market trends. These companies are Micron Technology, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms. Micron Technology, currently trading at around $940 per share, has undergone three stock splits in the past and is experiencing a surge in demand driven by the AI boom.
A possible 5-for-1 split could make Micron's shares more affordable for retail investors while maintaining its substantial market capitalization. Microsoft, which has not split its stock in over 20 years, is also a candidate for a split to make its shares more accessible to a broader range of investors. Its recent growth in cloud computing and AI-related services, such as Azure and Copilot, supports this argument.
Meta Platforms, with a current share price of just under $750, is the most intriguing candidate for a stock split due to its large reach and strong advertising business, as well as its increasing emphasis on AI-driven advertising tools and content recommendations. While Micron appears most likely to split first due to its higher share price and prior experience with stock splits, Meta could potentially break the trend as the only Magnificent Seven company that has never split its stock before.
Microsoft may be the last to act, given its lower share price among the three. The timing and order of these stock splits remain uncertain, but the potential benefits for retail investors and continued business growth make these three companies prime candidates for the next round of stock splits.
