WD-40 Co. has split its stock 3 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on October 03, 1978 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of WDFC owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 2 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on August 01, 1997 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased WDFC 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 WD-40 Co.'s total market capitalization.

Will WD-40 Co. Stock Split in 2024?

The answer will depend on the decisions of the company's managers and market volatility. WD-40 Co. 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 WDFC stock prices become too high or too low for retail investors. Therefore, the ultimate decisions will certainly be made by WD-40 Co.'s board of directors. Typically, no action is taken until its price per share reaches a specific threshold.
