Pfizer Inc. (PFE) Stock Split History

Pfizer Inc. has split its stock 6 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on May 26, 1970 with the ratio of 3-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of PFE owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 3 shares. 5 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on July 01, 1999 on a 3-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased PFE 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 Pfizer Inc.'s total market capitalization.

Will Pfizer Inc. Stock Split in 2024?

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