Analog Devices Inc has split its stock 10 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on April 07, 1981 with the ratio of 5-for-4, meaning that for 4 shares of ADI owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 5 shares. 9 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on March 16, 2000 on a 2-for-1 basis.
These splits have increased ADI 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 Analog Devices Inc's total market capitalization.

The answer will depend on the decisions of the company's managers and market volatility. Analog Devices 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 ADI stock prices become too high or too low for retail investors. Therefore, the ultimate decisions will certainly be made by Analog Devices Inc's board of directors. Typically, no action is taken until its price per share reaches a specific threshold.
