On paper yes but there's a psychological component

Why do companies do forward splits?...so more people can afford it and buy their stock.
It's called perception. You perceive it to be a better value and the possibility of a larger return to come faster and quicker.
"Forward stock splits can signal to the market that the price of a company's shares is rising, and that the stock therefore might be a good buy. The company also might expect demand for its stock to increase because more investors could afford to purchase its stock after a forward stock split."
