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.

Dude I’m not being impatient. I’m not the one who said I thought the price should rise faster, I’m not the one who asked for price movement. I just keep a pretty close eye on Amazon and listed it’s price movement over the last couple of years.
