Yum Brands Inc (YUM) Stock Split History

Yum Brands Inc has split its stock 2 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on June 18, 2002 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of YUM owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. The most recent stock split took place on June 27, 2007 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These actions have increased YUM 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 Yum Brands Inc's total market capitalization.

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

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