The question is a bit unclear but I'll give it a shot.

Any company can decide to split its stock anytime. For example, if Google wants to split it's stock at a 2:1 ratio, there will instantly be twice the number of shares on the market at half the price. If you were a shareholder of Google at that time, you will not lose or make any money; you will have double the stock at half the price.

It's not the "stock market" that split the stock, it's the company. And 100$ local currency is just a number. The companies can split at any price.

Here's the bottom line to stock splits;

From an investor point of view they mean almost nothing. It may be an indication that a stock has done well. but if you're watching the stock.... you'd already know that.

100 shares of a stock at $50 each = $5,000
200 shares of this split stock = $5,000
