Dover Corp. (DOV) Stock Split History

Dover Corp. has split its stock 8 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on September 23, 1976 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of DOV owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 7 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on May 09, 2018 on a 1238-for-1000 basis.

These splits have increased DOV 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 Dover Corp.'s total market capitalization.

Will Dover Corp. Stock Split in 2024?

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