Potential stock splits in 2021 – 4 companies to keep a close eye on
 
 
Companies opt for a stock split for several reasons. For example, it can occur when the stock price reaches such a high level that smaller investors can't even dream about touching.
 
 
Also, a higher number of shares can improve the stock's liquidity and facilitate trading; therefore, companies choose to divide their stocks.
 
 
Lastly, stock splits can potentially rekindle investors' interest in specific companies, boosting their prices and media coverage.
