Why do stocks split? A general motivation for a company to split its stock is to make it more affordable to the average retail investor. The reasoning is that more people will want to buy a stock at $50 rather than $100. It's mostly psychological. Further, as more people buy the stock at the lower price, the stock will rise in price.
