Big-Time Splits Are Usually Big-Time Opportunities
Stock splits have been around for a long time, but June brings a couple of whoppers – including one of the biggest in history. The data is clear that stock splits can be big opportunities for investors. Coca-Cola (KO), one of Warren Buffett’s main holdings, has split 11 times in the last 105 years. If someone bought one share of KO in 1919 when it debuted and willed that investment to future generations, that single share would now amount to 9,216 shares. That $40 investment would be worth more than $580,000.
