Alphabet Inc (GOOG) Stock Split History

Alphabet Inc has split its stock 5 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on March 26, 2014 with the ratio of 2002-for-1000, meaning that for 1000 shares of GOOG owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2002 shares. 4 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on July 18, 2022 on a 20-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased GOOG 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 Alphabet Inc's total market capitalization.

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