Investors are shifting their focus to artificial intelligence (AI) and influential companies announcing stock splits. Stock splits can adjust share prices without impacting market cap or performance, with forward splits preferred over reverse splits. Companies enacting forward splits have historically outperformed the S&P 500. Notable stock splits in 2025 include Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST) and O’Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ: ORLY). Interactive Brokers Group (NASDAQ: IBKR) is set to complete a historic 4-for-1 forward split. The company’s growth is driven by enduring bull markets and unique features, with potential limitations due to its forward P/E ratio.
