SHARE ON
On June 3rd , 2022 Amazon will split shares 20 to 1. If you owned 1 share of Amazon stock, you would own 20 shares after this summer’s split. Currently, one share of Amazon stock is worth about $3,000. After the split, one share will be worth roughly $150.
Companies split shares so it is easier for investors to buy and sell shares, which increases the number of shares available and decreases the price of an individual share. Usually, a stock split is a sign that the company is doing very well, which is the case for Amazon.
If you already had a share of Amazon stock, great news! Now you own more. If you haven’t invested in Amazon yet, it’s a good idea to buy in with a smaller investment after June 3rd. Buying Amazon stock before the split will leave you in no better or worse place, but the investment will be higher.
This split may be one of the best opportunities for new investors to get a piece of one of the world’s fastest-growing companies, so rejoice and invest responsibly.
