It has been a little over two years since Apple stock last split. On Feburary 18, 2005 Apple stock was split in a two-to-one ratio increasing shares from 900 million to 1.8 billion and splitting stock value from $89.62 to $44.68. Since then the stock has more than doubled and is currently trading at $93.15.

According to Mac Rumors Apple is seriously considering another stock split which will decrease the price of the stock, but the number of shares will increase proportionately. Considering the current market value of Apple(AAPL) is at $93.15 (which is almost 4 dollars above the price Apple stock split in February 05) it is reasonable to take these rumors into careful consideration.
