Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos hasn't ruled out the idea of a split, which the firm did three times as a young public company.

A shareholder at Amazon's annual meeting in Seattle on Tuesday asked Mr. Bezos if he would consider splitting the company's shares to give members of the middle class and younger people the chance to afford the shares.

Mr. Bezos responded that it's something the company has considered. "We don't have any plans to do this at this point, but we'll continue to look at that," he said.
