10 Stock Splits Investors Could See Happen by 2026

Few things garner attention for a stock as much as a stock split. Though a split does nothing to change the fundamentals of a stock or the business, it excites investors for a number of reasons. First, they're the primary tool by which companies can artificially lower their share prices, thereby making them more affordable to individual investors. Second, they act as a milestone for the stock, essentially resetting its growth path so it can rise again. Third, management chooses the timing of stock splits, and they generally signal confidence from management that the stock can keep going up. If management was not confident about the stock's ability to keep gaining, they would be less likely to issue a stock split. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Finally, there's also evidence that stock-split stocks outperform the S&P 500 over the 12 months following the split, according to research from Bank of America. While that's not a reason to buy stock-split stocks, it is a reason to pay attention to them. On that note, let's take a look at 10 stocks that could split by the end of 2026. 1. AutoZone AutoZone's (NYSE: AZO) chief rival, O'Reilly Automotive, just issued a 15-for-1 stock split, and AutoZone looks like a great candidate for one next year as well. The seller of aftermarket auto parts now trades north of $3,600 per share, making it one of the highest share prices on the stock market. AutoZone has a long track record of growth and performing well in both bull and bear markets. After tripling over the last five years, the stock seems overdue for a stock split. 2. MercadoLibre MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI) is another longtime successful now trading at a lofty share price of around $2,500. The stock is up more than 8,000% since its 2009 IPO but has never had a stock split in its history. The company continues to grow rapidly thanks to its strong positioning in e-commerce and digital payments in fintech, meaning a stock split makes sense at some point, if not by the end of next year. 3. Costco Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) is a unique retailer in a number of ways, and that includes its approach to its share price, which is now hovering around $1,000, well above any mass market retailer. Costco has not done a stock split since 2000, but considering the high share price of the stock and the overall health of the business, a stock split would likely be greeted warmly by investors, especially for retail investors who just have a little cash to spend. 4. ASML ASML (NASDAQ: ASML) is one of the leading semiconductor equipment companies in the world. In fact, it's the only maker of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography equipment used to make the most advanced chips for AI and other applications. ASML's stock price is currently trading around $800, making it a good candidate for a stock split as it has not done so since 2012, when it did an unusual reverse 77-for-100 stock split. 5. Coinbase Crypto is having a big year with Bitcoin hitting an all-time high, legislation regulating stablecoins passing, and the post-IPO of Circle, the owner of the stablecoin USDC. Against that backdrop, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) split its stock. Its share price is currently around $300. That isn't especially high, but the stock would likely soar on a stock-split announcement, so doing one to take advantage of the tailwinds in crypto could make sense. 6. Booking Holdings With a share price above $5,000, Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG) may be one of the most obvious candidates for a stock split. However, the online travel agency has thus far resisted it. The company has only ever done a 1-for-6 reverse stock split when it was at its nadir in 2003 following the dot-com bust. Management may be opposed to a stock split, but doing so would likely make the stock more available to more investors. 7. Netflix Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) has been one of the biggest surprises over the last three years as the company overcame a decline in subscribers in 2022 and has since surged with the help of its new advertising tier, a crackdown on password sharing, and a push into live TV. With its share price now above $1,000, a stock split wouldn't be a surprise, especially since the company has done them several times in its history. 8. ServiceNow ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW) is one of the most successful software-as-a-service stocks, and it's now one of the highest-priced at nearly $1,000 a share. The company continues to invest in new AI features and deliver steady growth. The company has never done a stock split since going public in 2012. 9. Meta Platforms Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) is the only member of the "Magnificent Seven" to have never done a stock split. After going public in 2012, the stock has risen nearly 2,000% to around $700 a share. It's unclear if Meta will do a stock split by 2026, but one seems likely if the stock keeps climbing. 10. Intuit Finally, Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU) looks like a good prospect for a stock split. Shares of the owner of TurboTax and QuickBooks are trading at around $750 a share, and the stock has been a strong performer for years, recently benefiting from advances in AI to make its products easier to use. The company's most recent stock split came in 2006 so it seems due for another one. Should you invest $1,000 in Costco Wholesale right now?

Highway 138 upgrades are coming, province tells town hall held after woman's death

Social Sharing Major upgrades to Highway 138 are on track to begin in 2028, the Ontario government announced Saturday at a packed town hall in Moose Creek, Ont., where locals called for safety improvements to the highway. The new timeline for safety upgrades, which will include the addition of new passing and turning lanes, comes amid growing pressure from nearby residents after the death of Amanda Maloney, a 33-year-old Moose Creek woman, in a three-vehicle collision in March. "I hope that the officials see that we are a group of people that want change," said Pascal Quesnel, the ex-partner of Maloney and father of her two children, at Saturday's meeting. "Hopefully it comes, and we don't need to wait forever for them." Traffic getting heavier Highway 138 is a roughly 36-kilometre single-lane highway that stretches between Highway 417 and Cornwall, Ont. An online petition advocating for safety improvements to the highway, dubbed Project Amanda, has garnered more than 7,000 signatures. But calls to improve safety on the highway, which has seen several fatal collisions over the last decade, are longstanding. Traffic is also getting heavier. A burgeoning logistics industry in the region means more trucks on Highway 138. Local politicians are also raising concerns that a new Great Wolf Lodge indoor water park planned for Cornwall will further increase traffic. Cornwall-area politicians, drivers lament latest Hwy. 138 work delays A 2017 report from consulting firm Stantec proposed more than two dozen recommendations for improving the highway, from new turning lanes to roundabouts, carpool lots and flood mitigation infrastructure. Although the final year of that ten-year plan is fast approaching, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) has thus far implemented only a few of the recommendations. 'Immediate' solutions At the Moose Creek town hall, some residents were unimpressed with the province's timeline. "I think the majority of the people in this whole region want a far more immediate response to this," said Garfield Dunlop. "I was looking for someone to stand up and say, we've got to do something now." Dunlop's preferred short-term solution would be to put up a flashing amber light to slow drivers. But several others who took the mic floated a range of inexpensive solutions, from installing a photo radar camera to putting up "emotional" signs that would remind drivers of past tragedies on the road. "Right now [change] is on the desks," said Rachelle Chrétien, who lost her niece in a collision on the highway in 2020. "I think it's up to the people, up to the communities, up to the counties to continue pushing."

‘It looks amazing': Restoration of 1951 Lincoln Cosmopolitan convertible for Princess Elizabeth tour finished

One of the 1951 Lincoln Cosmopolitan convertibles that Canada bought for Princess Elizabeth's tour is seen on June 21, 2025, after being restored by students at NAIT in Edmonton. (Galen McDougall / CTV News Edmonton) One of the 1951 Lincoln Cosmopolitan convertibles that Canada bought for Princess Elizabeth's tour that year has been restored to its former glory. The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology students who did the work over this school year revealed it to owner Ron Lyons on Saturday. 'I was flabbergasted. It looks amazing,' Lyons said in an interview with CTV News Edmonton. 'I think the kids in the program here did an amazing job restoring it and invested a lot of time and effort. It turned out beautiful.' According to NAIT auto body instructor Ryan Pomedli, the car was one of 60 the Canadian government bought for the future queen. Lyons, owner of the Legends Golf and Country Club east of Edmonton, purchased it in 2024 for the club's Golf Car Museum. Having worked with NAIT to restore other vehicles for some 20 years, he was familiar with the caliber of work done by the NAIT program – yet still impressed by the students' latest efforts.

(Galen McDougall / CTV News Edmonton) 'My car was in pretty decent shape when I first got it, but they took it up to another level – like, to an elite level.' Of entrusting his restoration projects to NAIT, Lyons added, 'It's not really the past, it's the future, right?' 'Having good, safe vehicles and properly repaired, and all that is important to the industry… At NAIT, the kids are properly trained. They're respectful. They have a beautiful, clean shop. They have the best equipment. They have the best instructors. And there's 80 of them going out into the industry and making the car industry safer.' One of those students, second-year Beverly Burke, was one of the last to work on the convertible. Her group sandblasted and painted the wheels. 'It's a once in a lifetime opportunity,' she said. 'Cars built in the 1950s, they don't build them like they do now.' Lyons plans on showing off the project at a few shows this summer before putting it on display at his club's museum. He told CTV News Edmonton, 'I have a nice spot for this. It's gonna have its own little bay.' With files from CTV News Edmonton's Galen McDougall
