Meta Platforms May Consider Stock Split in 2026
Meta Platforms, formerly known as Facebook, is evaluating a potential stock split, anticipated in 2026. This consideration follows a significant increase in its share price, which has risen more than 1,500% since its IPO in May 2012. Currently, Meta’s stock trades at over $600, making it the only company among the “Magnificent Seven” tech stocks that has not executed a stock split.
The move could open investment opportunities to a broader audience and signal management’s confidence in the future, especially as the company intensifies its focus on artificial intelligence. Meta’s predicted capital expenditures for AI are expected to increase notably in 2026.
Despite a 7% rise this year, Meta’s performance lags behind other tech giants, prompting discussions that a stock split may enhance appeal to investors who perceive the current price as too high.
