splits are totally irrelevant. DELL and CSCO had great appreciation despite many splits. BRK and GOOG had great appreciation despite never splitting. splits just divide the number of shares--for some reason, for many decades $35 has been considered some kind of "standard" price per share, and apparently some companies like to get their share price back to that level via splits. but are two $5 bills worth less than a single $10 bill? in 1999 QCOM went up 26-fold--an all-time record for an SPX company--despite splitting 16 to 1. what a great stock that was.
