If there is no post-split dip then they will be in a world of hurt.

After splits, stocks tend to move towards their pre-split price.

I firmly believe that Apple carefully considered the date they do anything significant, and the timing of the split is no different, last day of August.

In Sept they'll likely announce new hardware and ship new software. Then the quarter will end at the end of Sept, results will be announced sometime in Oct with the first hint of how the new hardware is selling.

Then they'll have a full quarter of sales with results sometime in Jan, which will include the holiday season.

Every move they make seems to be timed to keep momentum going.
The Big Fear from stagnant stock is the inability to recruit and retain top talent. Not an accident that M$ stock went flat, then the company stayed flat - engineers could go to Apple, or Google or Amazon etc.

I worry we are in a mini bubble in general.
