[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 2939335, member: 7966"] The purpose of a share split is typically to allow individual shareowners the opportunity to buy more shares per dollar spent ... individuals sense better investment opportunities if they see a greater number of shares.

When UPS was selected to be in the S&P 500, that really made stock price irrelevant.
