Kirby Corp (KEX) Stock Split History

Kirby Corp has split its stock 2 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on May 12, 1981 with the ratio of 10-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of KEX owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 10 shares. The most recent stock split took place on June 01, 2006 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These actions have increased KEX stock's liquidity and made it more appealing to a larger group of investors. However, it's important to remember that a stock split only change the number of shares and the price per share with no impact on Kirby Corp's total market capitalization.

Will Kirby Corp Stock Split in 2024?

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