Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) isn't a cheap stock anymore, at least on a dollars-per-share basis. Its stock price has reached over $700 per share, a range that many investors begin wondering if a stock split is imminent.

Shares of Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) were among the winners last month. The social media stock took off after the inauguration, benefiting from a potential TikTok ban, the company's increasingly cozy relationship with President Donald Trump, news of increased investment in artificial intelligence (AI), and even the DeepSeek revelation.

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META)., formerly known as Facebook Inc ., has reached an unprecedented milestone as its stock price soared to an all-time high of $725.53, pushing its market capitalization to $1.

For Meta's stock to turn a $10,000 investment into $1 million, it would need to grow to 100 times its original value. That means its market cap would one day need to top $180 trillion. Given its elevated valuation, I don't see that as being a likely scenario. Even getting to 10 times its value, to more than $18 trillion, might be a long shot.
