Waters Corp. (WAT) Stock Split History

Waters Corp. has split its stock 2 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on June 11, 1999 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of WAT owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. The most recent stock split took place on August 28, 2000 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These actions have increased WAT 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 change the number of shares and the price per share with no impact on Waters Corp.'s total market capitalization.
