Amid the stock split talk, investors need to keep Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) in mind. The current price of around $460 per share is well below the nominal prices at which stocks like Broadcom or Nvidia recently announced splits. Admittedly, it might be presumptuous to say that Microsoft is the next stock split. Many stocks are soaring to very high triple-digit prices amid an improving economy and game-changing market shifts in the tech sector.

Stock splits are all the rage on Wall Street this year, as evidenced by the growing number of companies engaging in them. These maneuvers are usually only undertaken after years of strong financial and operating results have driven a company's stock price out of reach of some smaller investors. It's worth noting that while a stock split is merely a cosmetic change, it can make it easier for employees and other retail investors to buy shares, which is often the reason cited by management for perf

Since the beginning of last year, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) stock has experienced a resurgence. It is near an all-time high, as its recovery erased all the losses of the 2022 bear market and rose by about 55% over the last year. With that gain, investors may question what it can do over the next year. Will its march higher continue, or will its considerable growth over a short time frame set it up for another pullback over the next 12 months?

The good news is that there are other smaller but well-established e-commerce companies that investors can keep an eye on.
