The Details on the Amazon Stock Split and Buybacks Amazon, which announced the stock split late Wednesday, will give each shareholder 19 additional shares for each share held (pending shareholder approval, of course) on June 3. The company said AMZN stock will begin trading on a post-split basis on June 6. Based on current levels, shares would go for just under $140 apiece following the Amazon stock split. That should make AMZN shares more attractive to retail investors currently put off by the four-figure sticker price of more than $2,900. "This split would give our employees more flexibility in how they manage their equity in Amazon and make the share price more accessible for people looking to invest in the company," an Amazon spokesperson said.
