The most recent stock split took place on March 01, 2011 on a 2-for-1 basis.

Will Eaton Corporation plc Stock Split in 2024?

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