>I'm intrigued....why ? More dilution ? larger runup ? Larger P/E ? Price. Most companies want their stock trading in a range of $30 - $80 (Look at the price when MSFT or DELL splits for example). It also shows that management has confidence in the stock price. A 3/1 split would put YHOO at $70+ -- a reasonable trading price. Dilution? A split does nothing to dilution. The BSCT deal caused dilution, and excess dilution at that due to mgmt's decision to sign the deal a week too soon (they should have done $5.7b at todays stock price) Larger P/E? A split has no effect on P/E Larger run-up? A split announcement always causes a run-up (and if a split is expected and not given, it causes a sell-off)
