Apple Inc (AAPL) Stock Split History

Apple Inc has split its stock 6 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on June 16, 1987 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of AAPL owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 5 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on August 31, 2020 on a 4-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased AAPL stock's liquidity and made it more appealing to a larger group of investors. However, it's important to remember that these actions only change the number of shares and the price per share with no impact on Apple Inc's total market capitalization.

The answer will depend on the decisions of the company's managers and market volatility. Apple Inc has not made an official announcement regarding whether it will enact a stock split or reverse stock split, but it has a history of doing so when AAPL stock prices become too high or too low for retail investors. Therefore, the ultimate decisions will certainly be made by Apple Inc's board of directors. Typically, no action is taken until its price per share reaches a specific threshold.
