Investing $1,000 In Walmart IPO: Walmart offered shares for $16.50 on Oct. 1, 1970 for its IPO. A $1,000 investment could have purchased 60.61 shares of Walmart stock.
The total value of your WMT shares will stay what they were right before the split. This is because when a stock splits, the value of the shares is divided by the same amount the stock is splitting by. After the WMT split, each share will be worth just one-third of what they were before the split.
Although Walmart's expanding e-commerce business and long-term prospects remain attractive there could be better buying opportunities even after its stock split as this does not always translate to shares of a company moving higher immediately afterward.

Does it matter to buy before or after a stock split? If you buy a stock before it splits, you'll pay more per share than what it'll cost after it splits. If you're looking to buy into a stock at a cheaper price, you may want to wait until after the stock split.
After climbing 48% in 2023, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) stock has underperformed so far in 2024. The stock is down about 11% year to date, in part, due to worries regarding slowing iPhone sales in China. However, one Wall Street analyst sees this price dip as a buying opportunity.

How do you know if a stock is going to split?
Stock splits are generally done when the stock price of a company has risen so high that it might become an impediment to new investors. Therefore, a split is often the result of growth or the prospects of future growth, and it's a positive signal.
A stock split does not change the value of a stock because it does not change the fundamentals or growth prospects of the underlying company.
To get a sense of what that sort of underperformance looks like on an account statement, have a look at the chart below. This chart illustrates the disconcerting fact that if you invested $1,000 in Walmart stock 20 years ago, today it would be worth only about $4,400.
And if you had invested $1,000 into Walmart a decade ago, your investment would have more than doubled in value and be worth about $2,443 as of Nov.
This part of its business produced fiscal 2024 revenue of $114.6 billion, up over 13% from 2023. A long history of dividends adds the icing on the cake, providing a source of passive income. These various factors combine to make Walmart a worthy long-term investment.
