Northwest Bancshares Inc (NWBI) Stock Split History

Northwest Bancshares Inc has split its stock 3 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on May 22, 1996 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of NWBI owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 2 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on December 18, 2009 on a 9-for-4 basis.

These splits have increased NWBI 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 Northwest Bancshares Inc'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 Northwest Bancshares Inc's board of directors. Typically, no action is taken until its price per share reaches a specific threshold.
