Booking Holdings Likely to Announce Stock Split, Market Cap at $164 Billion
- Stock Split Potential: Booking Holdings, with a market cap of $164 billion and a current share price of $5,098.04, is seen as the most likely candidate to announce a stock split, which could attract more retail investors and enhance market liquidity.
