West Pharmaceutical Services Inc (WST) Stock Split History

West Pharmaceutical Services Inc has split its stock 5 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on September 20, 1972 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of WST owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 4 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on September 27, 2013 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased WST 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 West Pharmaceutical Services Inc's total market capitalization.

Will West Pharmaceutical Services Inc Stock Split in 2024?

The answer will depend on the decisions of the company's managers and market volatility.

Therefore, the ultimate decisions will certainly be made by West Pharmaceutical Services Inc's board of directors. Typically, no action is taken until its price per share reaches a specific threshold.
