Hecla Mining Co. (HL) Stock Split History

Hecla Mining Co. has split its stock 8 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on May 10, 1971 with the ratio of 102-for-100, meaning that for 100 shares of HL owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 102 shares. 7 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on March 25, 1981 on a 3-for-2 basis.

These splits have increased HL 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 Hecla Mining Co.'s total market capitalization.

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