Danaher Corp. (DHR) Stock Split History

Danaher Corp. has split its stock 7 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on September 09, 1987 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of DHR owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 6 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on October 02, 2023 on a 1128-for-1000 basis.

These splits have increased DHR 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 Danaher Corp.'s total market capitalization.

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