Chesapeake Utilities Corp has split its stock 8 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on November 24, 1970 with the ratio of 102-for-100, meaning that for 100 shares of CPK owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 102 shares. 7 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on September 09, 2014 on a 3-for-2 basis.
These splits have increased CPK 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 Chesapeake Utilities Corp's total market capitalization.

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