Meta Platforms and Sandisk Announce Historic Stock Splits
Two major technology companies, Meta Platforms (META) and Sandisk (SNDK), have announced significant stock splits to increase share accessibility for retail investors. Meta Platforms will implement an unorthodox split by issuing a one-for-one Class C non-voting stock dividend to current Class A shareholders, effectively acting as a 2-for-1 split starting January 19. Separately, memory specialist Sandisk has approved an aggressive 8-for-1 forward stock split following a massive rally of over 6,000% since its spin-off from Western Digital. The Sandisk split is scheduled to take effect after the close of trading on November 19. Both moves aim to lower the barrier to entry for individual investors amidst high valuations driven by artificial intelligence and memory demand.
