Canadian National Railway Co. (CNI) Stock Split History

Canadian National Railway Co. has split its stock 4 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on September 28, 1999 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of CNI owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 3 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on December 02, 2013 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased CNI 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 Canadian National Railway Co.'s total market capitalization.

Will Canadian National Railway Co. Stock Split in 2024?

The answer will depend on the decisions of the company's managers and market volatility.

Therefore, the ultimate decisions will certainly be made by Canadian National Railway Co.'s board of directors. Typically, no action is taken until its price per share reaches a specific threshold.
