Stock Splits and Artificial Intelligence

On Monday, June 10, Nvidia (NVDA), arguably one of the most pivotal chip manufacturers in the artificial intelligence realm, began trading after a 10-for-1 stock split. Known for producing the primary chip essential for AI development, NVDA's recent stock split stirred significant interest.

Owners of 100 shares at $1,200 per share on the prior Friday saw their accounts transform to 1,000 shares at $120 per share on Monday. Despite this transformation, the total value of their investment remained unchanged. But is this positive or negative? Or do we need artificial intelligence to decipher that?

Post-Split Performance Insights

A recent report leveraging research from Goldman Sachs, which examined 45 stock splits since 2019 within the Russell 1000 index, revealed insightful trends:

  1. In the week following the announcement of a split, share prices outperformed the equal-weighted S&P 500 Index by an average of 4%.
  2. After the splits took effect, no discernible outperformance was observed.

Ultimately, a company's stock price should ideally reflect its current and anticipated profits, as opposed to merely the fact that its shares have split.

Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Use

I spoke to a real estate agent who mentioned their increasing reliance on AI to craft property listings and enhance email content. When queried about AI usage in college, my son explained that AI-generated content is generally prohibited, with colleges using specialized software to detect such content.

Nathaniel Hawthorne once remarked, “Words – so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.”

Rest assured, every word here is crafted by me, using my own intellect. Despite the convenience of AI, there's a growing homogeneity worldwide, influenced by platforms like TikTok, Google, fashion trends, and data sources, leading us to think and communicate similarly.

Concluding Thoughts

Call me old-fashioned, but I cherish thinking and writing based on personal experiences, faith, upbringing, education, and professional training. While AI offers remarkable capabilities, human uniqueness lies in our individuality and personal insights.

In conclusion, the passage of time remains the ultimate test in evaluating the true public benefits of both stock splits and artificial intelligence.
