For the most part I agree. However, there is some evidence that stock splits with dividend increases are a positive rather than neutral event. While all dividends increases are a positive signal for the prospects of a company, dividend increases with stock splits are strong signal for the company and stock price.

While this article is published by a stock newsletter called The RightLine Report (it used to be called the RightLine Split Report), it cites several studies indicating stock splits are a positive catalyst for share price appreciation: rightline.net "Most traders view stock splits as high potential trading opportunities. They consider splits a positive progression in value and goodwill for companies and their investors. Corporate executives use stock splits as marketing and investor relation tools. They know that stock splits make shareholders feel better and engender a sense of greater wealth. Critics would argue that a stock split is a non-event.
