Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) Stock Split History

Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF has split its stock once since its initial public offering (IPO). The stock split of Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF occurred on June 18, 2008 on a 2-for-1 basis, meaning that for 1 share of VWO owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares.

This action has increased the stock's liquidity and made it more appealing to a larger group of investors. However, it's important to remember that a stock split only changes the number of shares and the price per share with no impact on Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF's total market capitalization.

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