which stocks split most often?

Answer 1

There is no way to really tell, but two stocks I've owned have had a good amount of splits, WTR and PAYX.

But I in no way know whether they have split MOST often.

Answer 2

Im not sure which ones split most often, but to find stock splits and compile info on stock splits, use market watch and do a keyword search for stock splits, and you will recieve anything that comes up in that area. A stock split usually takes place when the underlying company wants to have more shares oustanding in their float. It can be a good or bad thing depeding on how much demand there is for the stock. The thing to remember is that if a stock split 2 for 1 as an example, you will double the amount of shares you own. The price is also adjusted that it is half price. Bottm line though when you break a pencil in half, you have 2 pencils but no more lead.
