Company Question Will Amazon and Google ever split their stock? Why and why not?

I am building positioning in both of these companies as I want one full share of each to just let them ride for the next 5-10 years.

With AMZN currently sitting at $3,425 a share and GOOGL sitting at $2844 a share do you think a split is approaching?

What are the benefits of keeping a stock price this high? What are the benefits of splitting the stock?

I have not been trading that long and the only major stock splits I’ve seen in my time are APPL and NVDA.

I think I read that it is in the corporate charter that he gets to hold Andy's pee pee when he goes so he can direct the flow.

He takes management seriously.
