Why do companies split their stock and is there anyway to know it's going to happen etc?


Also, I just noticed that Halliburton pays a dividend on their stock. Even though I've bought my stock through the ESPP, I should still get that dividend payment too, correct? I'm pretty sure I checked reinvest any dividends with my account but I'll have to look. I'm kind of excited since I've never known how to look up stock performance information before. Google Finance is pretty cool, lol.
