The ability to acquire does not change with a stock split. Twice the shares but half the price. In an acquisition they would be giving the acquired company shareholders twice the shares. There is no difference. My point was that when a company splits, the stock usually goes up making it an even better currency to acquire new companies. If the stock price is unaffected by a split, it does not help or hinder their ability to acquire. I guess if you disagree on that point, we will let it be unless someone else wants put in their comments. As Pat pointed out, there does not appear to be a stock split in the near future----but that has no bearing on the ability to acquire.
