Verizon Communications Inc (VZ) Stock Split History

Verizon Communications Inc has split its stock 3 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on April 18, 1986 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of VZ owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 2 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on June 30, 1998 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased VZ 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 Verizon Communications Inc's total market capitalization.

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