Tim- Do you value a $10 bill over 2 $5's? That is not a valid question regarding stocks with billions of outstanding shares.... I repeat again, most funds will maintain a set % of a companies stock in their portfolios, they prefer not to maintain to much of a specific stock, especially if there is no dividend assigned. So if a stock splits and they have too many shares in the fund they reduce their holdings which increases the active float... Depending on either individual investors or institutional investor demand the stock will go up or down....IMO, most institutions and funds that want them already have plenty of shares of a mature company like AMAT. Why do you think that various companies do share buy backs? They are trying to reduce the shares outstanding because demand from investors is lax and the stock is foundering around and not moving....
