Automatic Data Processing Inc (ADP) Stock Split History

Automatic Data Processing Inc has split its stock 6 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on July 02, 1976 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of ADP owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 5 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on January 04, 1999 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased ADP 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 Automatic Data Processing 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 Automatic Data Processing Inc's board of directors. Typically, no action is taken until its price per share reaches a specific threshold.
