Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (TMO) Stock Split History

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has split its stock 8 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on November 19, 1973 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of TMO owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 7 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on June 06, 1996 on a 3-for-2 basis.

These splits have increased TMO 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 Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.'s total market capitalization.

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