Walmart Inc (WMT) Stock Split History

Walmart Inc has split its stock 11 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on March 20, 1972 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of WMT owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 10 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on February 26, 2024 on a 3-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased WMT 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 Walmart Inc's total market capitalization.

Will Walmart Inc Stock Split in 2024?

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