Kadant Inc (KAI) Stock Split History

Kadant Inc has split its stock 3 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on September 18, 1995 with the ratio of 3-for-2, meaning that for 2 shares of KAI owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 3 shares. 2 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on July 12, 2001 on a 1-for-5 basis.

Will Kadant Inc Stock Split in 2024?

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