Bank of Montreal (BMO) Stock Split History

Bank of Montreal has split its stock 2 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on March 15, 2001 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of BMO owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. The most recent stock split took place on March 25, 2024 on a 1-for-10 basis.

These actions have increased BMO 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 change the number of shares and the price per share with no impact on Bank of Montreal's total market capitalization.

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