Service Corp. International (SCI) Stock Split History

Service Corp. International has split its stock 7 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on June 12, 1981 with the ratio of 4-for-3, meaning that for 3 shares of SCI owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 4 shares. 6 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on September 03, 1996 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased SCI 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 Service Corp. International's total market capitalization.

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