Novanta Inc has split its stock once since its initial public offering (IPO). The stock split of Novanta Inc occurred on December 29, 2010 on a 1-for-3 basis, meaning that for 3 shares of NOVT owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 1 share.
This action has increased the 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 changes the number of shares and the price per share with no impact on Novanta Inc's total market capitalization.
The answer will depend on the decisions of the company's managers and market volatility. Novanta 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 NOVT stock prices become too high or too low for retail investors. Therefore, the ultimate decisions will certainly be made by Novanta Inc's board of directors. Typically, no action is taken until its price per share reaches a specific threshold.
