The increase in authorized shares from 1 to 3 billion is as good as done. As for a split, who knows. I still give it 50-50. The more the stock moves up, the more the chances increase. Management certainly loves the opportunity to split 2:1, but Management has also hesitated in the past, and waited for a later opportunity. However, when they did that last time, the stock was nowhere near the current levels. I think it was only at 105, and everyone was counting on a split at earnings, and didn't get it. The stock dropped, only to recover and split at the following earnings announcement. The last time they split the stock at an annual meeting (last year), the intention to split had already been announced pending approval of the additional authorization of shares from 360 mln to 1 bln. All other split announcements occur at earnings announcement dates, are approved by the Board only, and as a dividend payable in shares of stock (using the unissued, authorized share surplus). A split will occur. The question is when. I give on or before August earnings a 100% chance IMO. I will be extremely happy if the Board does it Friday, but I have had to wait before, too. LoD
