all that matters is to prove correlation
If you're looking solely at stocks' performance *after* split announcements, then yes, but the slight outperformance correlation is demonstrated inclusive of the period before the announcement. It's not possible to know with certainty which stocks will split and when, making the mild benefit nearly impossible to capture. If stocks performed notably better (risk-adjusted) *after* splits were announced , and through the date of the split, then it would be possible to benefit, but of course any such advantage would be short-lived because once the phenomena became known, it would get priced in readily.
