Investors get excited about stock splits for two reasons. The most obvious reason is they reduce a company's share price, making the stock more accessible. The less obvious reason is they often spotlight strong businesses. To elaborate, forward stock splits are only necessary after substantial share price appreciation, which rarely happens to mediocre businesses.
