Some papers have such a high value., that private investors rarely trade them, but often asked: when will split (splitting up)?
Why stocks are expensive
And the split may not be. A company can maintain a high share price, when management does not want to, so that retail investors traded securities and the volatility of quotations was increased.
But the modern stock market world, as known, does not stand still. And the young American retail broker Robinhood (HOOD) already offers its clients the opportunity to trade fractional lots of shares. There is no such option on St. Petersburg Exchange yet, but practice shows, that for many Russian investors, even high prices do not become an obstacle.
Tesla Shares, Leader of St. Petersburg Exchange in terms of turnover, actively claim to, to enter the list of the most expensive papers - apparently, it would have happened by now, if it weren't for the paper splitting 4/1 last August.
