Just seven Dow Jones Industrial Average components, including Apple, had share prices higher than $200 prior to the split.

Apple's split also prompted S&P Dow Jones Indices to make some changes to the rest of the index, booting out some lower-priced stocks. Pfizer Inc. (PFE), Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) and Raytheon Technologies Corp. (RTX) will exit the index before trading begins Monday, with Salesforce.com Inc. (CRM), Amgen Inc. (AMGN) and Honeywell International Inc. (HON) taking their places.

It's the second time in the past decade that the S&P Dow Jones Indices committee will be swapping out three components at a time, and the third time this millennium.
