The pizza analogy is perfect for understanding this concept. What realy matters is how the option adjustments work automaticaly to presrve value. The Netflix example with a 10 for 1 split makes it much clearer how this plays out in practise. Companies often use forward splits as a psycological tool to attract more retail participation.

This piece really made me think. What if the intended retail investor appeal fails to materialise after a split?
