Nvidia Corp’s remarkable surge has escalated its market value by over $1 trillion this year, propelling the AI leader to consider another stock split.
Following a four-for-one split in May 2021, when shares were around $600, Nvidia’s price is now approaching $1,000, building on last year’s 240% gain.
Experts believe a split could make shares more accessible, especially to small retail investors deterred by the high share price, Bloomberg reports.
Ken Mahoney of Mahoney Asset Management anticipates a potential split within the next year to attract these investors.
Without indicating immediate plans for a split, Nvidia ( NVDA ) has seen its shares skyrocket past previous levels after a significant drop in 2022.
While fundamentally cosmetic, stock splits tend to attract retail investors by offering shares at a psychologically more appealing price point, even though the company’s overall valuation remains unchanged.
Despite no confirmation from Nvidia ( NVDA ) on an impending split, its ongoing rally and popularity among retail traders highlight its robust market presence.
