FedEx ( FDX ), which trades at $192 a share, would seem a ripe candidate for a split, as shares have outperformed the market, up 28% year to date. By now you're probably living someplace where the art on your walls consists of cave paintings if you haven't taken delivery of one of the company's distinctive boxes. At the moment, it's not exactly lavishing its stockholders with plump payouts - its yield is south of 1%, meaning it's not a dividend aristocrat. So would a split be a nice "attaboy" for those shareholders who have lived with the company's leverage to the economy? Well, don't hold your breath. FedEx has a history of splits, having executed five in its time as a public company, though the last one was 17 years ago. And at an investor meeting in 2012, a participant asked point blank: can we expect to see a stock split? Management's pithy answer: "No."
