Stock-Split Watch: Is Meta Platforms Next?

Meta Platforms announced a 2-for-1 stock split via new Class C nonvoting shares effective January 19, 2027. The split allows Meta to expand its stock pool for compensation without diluting CEO Mark Zuckerberg's voting control. While stock splits don't create inherent value, Meta's strong financials, AI-funded capital expenditures, and viral Muse consumer AI app position it as a compelling long-term AI investment.
