Big Lots Inc (BIG) Stock Split History

Big Lots Inc has split its stock 4 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on November 26, 1985 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of BIG owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 3 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on June 25, 1997 on a 5-for-4 basis.

These splits have increased BIG 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 Big Lots Inc's total market capitalization.

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