NEW YORK -- Fast-growing discount carrier JetBlue Airways Corp. said today it will split its stock 3 for 2 for the second time since going public last year.
"The three-for-two stock split reflects our confidence in the Company's future growth prospects," Chief Executive David Neeleman said in a statement.
The stock split will increase the number of shares by 50 percent to 101 million, but reduce their value by two-thirds, or 66 percent.
