Odyssey Marine Exploration Inc (OMEX) Stock Split History

Odyssey Marine Exploration Inc has split its stock 3 times since its initial public offering (IPO).

The most recent stock split took place on February 22, 2016 on a 1-for-12 basis.

These splits have increased OMEX 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 Odyssey Marine Exploration 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 Odyssey Marine Exploration Inc's board of directors. Typically, no action is taken until its price per share reaches a specific threshold.
