There's little question that artificial intelligence (AI) has played an important role in sending the broad-based S&P 500 , ageless Dow Jones Industrial Average , and growth-inspired Nasdaq Composite to record highs. But this isn't the only trend that's inciting optimism on Wall Street.
In addition to the AI revolution, investors have been captivated by stock splits in some of Wall Street's most-influential businesses.
A stock split is an event where a publicly traded company adjusts its share price and outstanding share count by the same factor. These changes are entirely cosmetic, as they don't have any impact on a company's underlying operating performance or its market cap.
