3 Split Stocks That Could Soar in 2026
Always keep an eye on stock splits.
A split doesn’t change a company’s intrinsic value. You still own the same slice of the same business—just divided into more shares at a lower price per share. But splits can matter for two practical reasons:
Accessibility and psychology. A $500 stock can feel “expensive” even if valuation is reasonable. Split it 10:1 and suddenly it’s a $50 stock, which tends to look more approachable to a wider set of investors.
Liquidity and attention. A lower share price can increase trading activity, improve liquidity, and expand participation—especially among retail investors and employees purchasing through company programs.
Historically, there’s also evidence that stocks can perform well after split announcements. Morningstar notes that, citing Bank of America research, stocks have outperformed following split announcements, with average one-year returns of 25% versus 12% for the S&P 500, and that stock splits have been picking up again after a long lull.
Of course, not every split is bullish. Some splits occur right before a market pullback, and a split doesn’t protect a stock from earnings disappointments or valuation compression. The key is to treat a split as a potential signal of management confidence and as a catalyst for renewed demand, then confirm it with the chart and the fundamentals.
Here are three split stocks with setups that could be worth watching into 2026.
Company: Netflix (SYM: NFLX) |

ZenaTech (NASDAQ: ZENA) is rapidly emerging as a standout name in one of the fastest-growing technology sectors in the global economy: AI-powered drones and autonomous services.
In Q3 2025, the company reported an eye-catching 1,225% year-over-year revenue increase, with revenue growing sixfold over the first nine months of the year, driven largely by its scalable Drone as a Service (DaaS) model, which already accounts for 82% of quarterly revenue.
Rather than selling just hardware, ZENA delivers a full, end-to-end ecosystem—combining AI-enabled drones, subscription-based services, and enterprise software—allowing government and commercial customers to deploy mission-critical drone solutions without upfront costs, pilots, or regulatory friction.
With real-world deployments across defense, infrastructure, agriculture, logistics, and public safety, ZENA is transforming drones from niche tools into essential operational infrastructure.
What truly puts ZENA on the radar is its alignment with powerful macro tailwinds and disciplined execution. U.S. policy shifts favoring domestically built, NDAA-compliant drones, restrictions on Chinese components, expanding defense engagement, and U.S.-based manufacturing in Arizona all strengthen the company’s competitive position.
At the same time, ZENA is aggressively scaling through acquisitions, targeting 25 DaaS locations by mid-2026, while expanding its federal presence near Washington, D.C. As AI, automation, and defense modernization accelerate, ZENA positioning itself as a foundational platform in the future of autonomous operations—backed by explosive growth, recurring revenue, and global expansion.
Company: O’Reilly Automotive (SYM: ORLY) A few months ago, O’Reilly Automotive split 15-for-1. Management framed the split as a practical move to make shares more accessible—particularly for employees participating in the company stock purchase program. As CEO Brad Beckham noted, the split helps team members acquire whole shares more readily through payroll deductions (at a 15% discount under the program). Since the split on June 10, ORLY ran from about $90 to a high of $108.72. It has since pulled back to around $92.25, which is creating what looks like a “second chance” entry area for investors who missed the initial post-split run. Technically, ORLY also appears oversold on RSI, MACD, and Williams’ %R, suggesting the pullback may be overextended. From here, we’d like to see ORLY rebound and initially retest $100.

Last call: the memecoin still at pennies
Quick reminder before this opportunity slips away.
My analysts Brian and Joe have identified their #1 memecoin for January 2026.
Plus, it could see big gains this month if the broader market bounces.
It's still trading for pennies. It has viral potential, real utility, institutional interest building, and a capped supply with a built-in burn mechanism.
Their track record with memecoins has been remarkable recently:
→ $PEPE: 1,570%
→ $REKT: 3,110%
→ $DogWifHat: 8,200%
→ Plus a bunch of quick flips gaining 300%-1,100% in days
They don't find coins like this every week. When they pound the table, I pay attention.
And right now, the setup is perfect.
The market is oversold. January historically delivers some of crypto's biggest rallies. And if a rally hits, memecoins could see the most explosive gains of all.
This coin is priced in pennies right now. I don't expect that to last.
