Stock-Split Watch: Is ASML Holding Next?
Investors tend to show outsized interest in companies that conduct stock splits. While a stock split does not change the market cap of a company or an investor's equity position in that company, it does indicate something about a company that can be useful in evaluating its position in the market. Typically, stock splits occur after a stock has recently made a big price move over a relatively short period of time, whether up or down.
The Netherlands-based ASML Holding (NASDAQ: ASML) plays a critical role in the blazing hot semiconductor space, which creates the chips that power large language models. Its stock price has generally reflected the company's performance and is up about 1,050% in the past decade. It hasn't executed a forward stock split since October 2007, and is trading up 2,280% since then.
Could this be the next company to conduct a stock split?
