Avery Dennison Corp. (AVY) Stock Split History

Avery Dennison Corp. has split its stock 3 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on December 29, 1983 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of AVY owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 2 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on December 23, 1996 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased AVY 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 Avery Dennison Corp.'s total market capitalization.

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