Read their proxy statement. Usually when a company devotes that much space in a proxy statement in their annual report and the share holders approve their usually will be some sort of split in the future. With all the hype attached to splits these past few years companies split their stock almost every year. A good example is PAYX. Another reason would be to increase the amount of shares outstanding to help reduce the amount of volatility, more shares for stock options etc. A stock doesn't have to be high priced to be split. there are many factors why a company would want to split their stock. Read the proxy if you see something else let the thread known. I'm not a fundamental person I usually trade off of TA patterns. Review my previous posts. best regards Richard.
