Eaton Corporation Plc (ETN) Stock Split History

Eaton Corporation Plc has split its stock 5 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on October 03, 1979 with the ratio of 3-for-2, meaning that for 2 shares of ETN owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 3 shares. 4 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on March 01, 2011 on a 2-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased ETN 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 Eaton Corporation Plc's total market capitalization.

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