A stock split would be a great way to set himself apart from Jeffrey Bezos.\n\nThe chatter calling for Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN)to execute a stock split is diminishing, but that's surprising. The stock continues to rise, making thearguments for a lower share pricevia a split all the more tantalizing.\nThere are also a couple of good reasons why Amazon should announce a stock split as soon as later this week. You might think these bookkeeping moves are silly zero-sum games, and that's fair. However, a lot of other market watchers see an Amazon split as the key to attracting even more retail investors while also making life easier for options traders. Let's see why Amazon could be the next major stock to declare a stock split.\nAmazon is rocking\nIt's good to be Amazon. The e-tail king was doing just fine before the pandemic shifted e-commerce into an even higher gear. The38% increase in net salesthat Amazon posted last year was its heartiest top-line gain in nine years.\nThings aren't slowing down in 2021. Revenuesoared 44%during the first three months of this year.\nInvestors are paying attention. Amazon held up better than most growth stocks during the correction earlier this year. It enters this trading week within 3% of the all-time high it hit two weeks ago.\nThere are only three U.S.-exchange-listed stocks trading at higher price points than the roughly $3,700 that Amazon is fetching as of Monday morning. Amazon's market cap is more than double those of the three higher-priced stocks combined. It's time for a stock split.\nThe clock is rolling\nAmazon reports its second-quarter results after market close on Thursday. Stock splits are often announced during an earnings release, whether the report itself is positive or negative.\nAdding to the likelihood of a stock split is that CEO Jeff Bezos officially stepped down as CEO earlier this month. If new CEO Andy Jassy wants to break the mold, there is no easier move than declaring the stock split that Bezos never cared to execute.\nA stock split is a zero-sum game. A single share of Amazon at $3,700 would be the same thing as 50 shares at $74. However, it's not easy to trade options on a $3,700 stock. We're not just talking about throwing speculators a bone, as there are plenty of conservative risk-management tools available for long-term Amazon investors through the options market.\nStock splits may not seem to matter as much as they did just a few years ago. Investors can buy fractional shares through a growing number of brokers. Zero-commission trading makes it easier than ever to buy a couple of shares at a time. However, there is still a natural attraction to low stock prices.\nA lower stock price would also make Amazon a no-brainer addition to the Dow Jones Industrial Average the next time the archaic but still relevant index shakes up its 30 members. In short, you don't have to be a fan ofstock splitsto see how an increase in retail and possibly institutional ownership can make Amazon even more valuable.\nYour legacy begins now, Jassy. A stock split makes more sense than you probably think.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":809617331,"gmtCreate":1627365160323,"gmtModify":1703488454111,"author":{"id":"3579482809178950","authorId":"3579482809178950","name":"Dawang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0f01f2346125f600328ffd48beb3a4c","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b0a2963eb37c60c5d6d4a8dbcd266952","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3579482809178950","authorIdStr":"3579482809178950"},"htmlText":"Making
