W W Grainger Inc (GWW) Stock Split History

W W Grainger Inc has split its stock 4 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on November 24, 1972 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of GWW owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 3 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on June 15, 1998 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased GWW 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 W W Grainger Inc's total market capitalization.
