Stock splits make expensive stocks more accessible to retail investors, yet they are increasingly rare among the tech giants.
It's a really interesting move, no doubt. As Apple approaches $2 trillion in market value, a stock split doesn't have value in itself, but it plays into the behavioral psychology of retail investors. If a trader wakes up and sees a price that's now 1/4th of what it was on the previous trading day, some will buy it out of natural instinct.
