S&P 500
futures fell about 0.1%.

Dow Jones Industrial Average
futures were flat.

The news came in a regulatory filing that indicated the company will request stockholder approval at its upcoming annual meeting to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock “in order to enable a stock split.”

Tesla’s board has approved the plan to increase the amount of authorized stock, but the board hasn’t approved the actual stock split yet.

Tesla announced a 5-for-1 stock split in early August 2020. Shares gained an incredible 80% from just before the split announcement until the time the split became effective at the end of August. The run that pushed the stock up that much happened over about three weeks.

Tesla stock was roughly $500 a share when the 2020 split became effective. Shares closed at $1,010.64 on Friday. Another 5-for-1 split would put shares around $200. At that price,Tesla stock would even fit in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

The Dow is a price-weighted index. The price of each stock is what matters when calculating index changes. The S&P 500, on the other hand, weights its components by market capitalization. Stock prices in the Dow range from about $47 for


Walgreens Boots Alliance

(WBA), to about $513 for


UnitedHealth

(UNH).

Dow addition is only speculation. It would be a feather in Tesla’s cap, but Dow addition wouldn’t drive a lot of index-related buying of shares. There isn’t a lot money indexed to the Dow. Tesla stock is already in the S&P 500.

The last time Tesla stock split it rallied from about $500 a share to more than $700 a share by the end of 2020. Tesla stock was also added to the S&P at the end of 2020, giving shares another boost.
