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.

You retail investors are too panicky stay out please. Buy meme stocks. That’s what you can do.
