There are several better reasons to invest in Nvidia than a potential stock split.
Stock splits are exciting events that can drum up a ton of investor excitement. While they are mostly cosmetic in nature, they can have huge implications for options strategies, employee compensation, and index fund inclusion. Currently, Nvidia (NVDA 0.07%) has a stock price of about $200.
Is that pricey enough for Nvidia to announce a stock split? Or will investors have to wait before another one of these exciting events is announced?

Both of those prices are far above where Nvidia currently is, but that’s not the only factor to consider. Nvidia is a member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI +0.98%), which is a price-weighted index. This means that the companies must stay at about an equal dollar-per-share level. Otherwise, they could throw the whole index out of whack.
