Mercury General Corp (MCY) Stock Split History

Mercury General Corp has split its stock 2 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on September 14, 1992 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of MCY owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares.
