Silgan Holdings Inc. (SLGN) Stock Split History

Silgan Holdings Inc. has split its stock 3 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on September 16, 2005 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of SLGN owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 2 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on May 30, 2017 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased SLGN 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 Silgan Holdings Inc.'s total market capitalization.

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