Netflix Inc. (NFLX) Stock Split History

Netflix Inc. has split its stock 2 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on February 12, 2004 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of NFLX owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. The most recent stock split took place on July 15, 2015 on a 7-for-1 basis.

These actions have increased NFLX 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 Netflix Inc.'s total market capitalization.

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