Sysco Corp. (SYY) Stock Split History

Sysco Corp. has split its stock 9 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on January 15, 1973 with the ratio of 5-for-4, meaning that for 4 shares of SYY owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 5 shares. 8 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on December 18, 2000 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased SYY 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 Sysco Corp.'s total market capitalization.

Will Sysco Corp. Stock Split in 2024?

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