自大型科技公司英偉達到快餐連鎖餐廳Chipotle Mexican Grill宣布後，近年來股票拆股市場一直充滿活力。這是因為這些股票近年來飆升，很多情況下達到數千美元。公司推出股票拆股以降低每股價格，使股份對更廣泛的投資者來說更加負擔得起。投資者尋找這樣的機會有兩個原因。首先，它使買家能夠在不依賴於部分股份的情況下對某一公司進行小額投資。其次，股票拆股通常表明公司對未來充滿信心，認為股票可能再次從其新的較低水平起飛。如何識別潛在的拆股候選公司？當一支股票隨著時間的推移不斷上漲，最終交易數百美元（或更多）時，一家公司可能考慮推出拆股。目前符合這一條件的製藥公司之一是艾利莉（NYSE：LLY）。
