International Paper Co (IP) Stock Split History

International Paper Co has split its stock 2 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on May 20, 1987 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of IP owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. The most recent stock split took place on September 18, 1995 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These actions have increased IP 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 International Paper Co's total market capitalization.

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