What Is a Stock Split? I Think the Next Wave of Splits Could Create Buying Opportunities Before 2027.
If Costco and Micron each reach their respective median one-year price targets, they could be stock-split candidates.
Overview
When stocks trade around $1,000, it's a psychological milestone at which investors start wondering whether a split will occur. After all, shareholders don't want retail investors to be priced out, which could limit buying activity and prevent the share price from rising even higher.
There are two stocks I've been watching that have both traded above and below $1,000 in 2026. That said, based on analyst price targets, they could trade well above $1,000 by September 2027, making them potential candidates for a stock split and worth considering as an investment before then.
Details
The two companies are Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU), which I'll dive into more in just a minute. But first, I'll offer a quick overview of why a company would consider splitting its stock, why a stock split may seem less necessary to a company's management team than in the past, and an example of a stock split from 2026.
