Medtronic Plc (MDT) Stock Split History

Medtronic Plc has split its stock 8 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on September 01, 1972 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of MDT owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 7 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on September 27, 1999 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased MDT 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 Medtronic Plc's total market capitalization.

Will Medtronic Plc Stock Split in 2024?

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