From Nov. 1, 2022 through the closing bell on Feb. 7, 2025 , the ageless Dow Jones Industrial Average, broad-based S&P 500, and growth stock-propelled Nasdaq Composite have respectively gained 36% , 56% , and 79% .

A stock split is an event that allows a publicly traded company to adjust its share price and outstanding share count by the same magnitude.

Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST ) can become the first prominent stock-split stock of 2025 .

Costco Wholesale's stock is trading at 57 times forecast earnings per share for 2025 .

This is more than double the consensus price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of the benchmark S&P 500 in 2025 .

Stock-split stocks have historically outperformed in the 12 months following their split announcement.
