For example, bargain-hunting growth investors might want to consider DraftKings (NASDAQ: DKNG) while its stock is still down 43% from its all-time peak. It's suffering some turbulence right now, but the bigger-picture investment thesis is still solid for all the right reasons.

If one share was worth $1,000 before the split, having 10 shares at $100 per share leaves them with a holding of equal value. Nonetheless, a split offers indirect benefits, such as making whole shares more affordable to small investors or making the act of writing covered calls less costly.
