Amazon's stock is about to get much, much cheaper
David Goldman byline
New York (CNN Business)Amazon shares are about to get 20 times less expensive.

The company announced Wednesday its board approved a 20-for-1 stock split, its first split since 1999. If approved by shareholders in May, the split will go into effect June 6.
Amazon closed Wednesday at $2,785 per share. If the stock split were to happen today, Amazon's stock would be worth $139 a share.
Don't worry, Amazon stockholders (which is pretty much everyone with a retirement account, these days) -- your stakes will still be worth the same. You'll be holding 20 times more shares when all is said and done.

Amazon stock split: Will the tech giant join the Dow Jones Industrial Average?
Amazon's (AMZN) big stock split could pave the way for entrance into the 30-member exclusive club known as the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

"We expect that the stock split should increase the accessibility of shares to a broader array of potential investors, and note that the split should allow for potential inclusion of Amazon shares in the Dow Jones Industrial Average," said Wells Fargo analyst Brian Fitzgerald.

Shares of the e-commerce giant rose 5% in pre-market trading on Thursday on the heels of a 20-for-1 stock split announcement. The company also revealed a massive $10 billion stock buyback plan.
