Stock splits do not fundamentally change a corporation's value, but they have certain advantages. They can generate increased interest in a company -- which often translates to short-term stock price gains -- and allow investors the ability to afford single shares at a lower price tag. Still, a business's long-term prospects are more important than this piece of corporate engineering.
And among all the big-name companies that have conducted stock splits this year, one stands out as the most attractive of the bunch, in my view. That company is none other than Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) , which executed a 20-for-1 stock split on June 6. Let's see why the tech giant remains a solid pick even with a market cap above $1 trillion.
