Will Stepan Co. Stock Split in 2024?

The answer will depend on the decisions of the company's managers and market volatility.

Therefore, the ultimate decisions will certainly be made by Stepan Co.'s board of directors. Typically, no action is taken until its price per share reaches a specific threshold.
