Lincoln National Corp. (LNC) Stock Split History

Lincoln National Corp. has split its stock 5 times since its initial public offering (IPO).

The most recent stock split took place on June 22, 1999 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased LNC 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 Lincoln National Corp.'s total market capitalization.

The answer will depend on the decisions of the company's managers and market volatility.

Therefore, the ultimate decisions will certainly be made by Lincoln National Corp.'s board of directors. Typically, no action is taken until its price per share reaches a specific threshold.
