U S Bancorp (USB) Stock Split History

U S Bancorp has split its stock 6 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on February 22, 1979 with the ratio of 5-for-4, meaning that for 4 shares of USB owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 5 shares. 5 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on April 16, 1999 on a 3-for-1 basis.

These splits have increased USB 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 U S Bancorp's total market capitalization.

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