Did IBM invent anything?
Yes, Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW) has a long history of stock splits, though its most recent one occurred some time ago. The company’s history includes several 2-for-1 splits, with notable dates such as May 26, 2006, May 28, 1997, June 21, 1993, May 27, 1987, and May 23, 1984. These splits were utilized by the company to adjust the number of outstanding shares and improve liquidity for investors during periods of strong market performance and share price appreciation. Since the 2006 split, the company has generally focused on dividend growth and other forms of capital allocation for shareholders rather than further splitting its stock.
