Autonation Inc. (AN) Stock Split History

Autonation Inc. has split its stock once since its initial public offering (IPO). The stock split of Autonation Inc. occurred on June 10, 1996 on a 2-for-1 basis, meaning that for 1 share of AN owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares.

This action has increased the stock's liquidity and made it more appealing to a larger group of investors. However, it's important to remember that a stock split only changes the number of shares and the price per share with no impact on Autonation Inc.'s total market capitalization.

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