Lilly (Eli) and (LLY) has 4 splits in our Lilly (Eli) and stock split history database. The first split for LLY took place on January 30, 1986. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of LLY owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 2000 share position following the split. LLY's second split took place on May 01, 1989. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of LLY owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 2000 share position pre-split, became a 4000 share position following the split. LLY's third split took place on December 21, 1995. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of LLY owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 4000 share position pre-split, became a 8000 share position following the split. LLY's 4th split took place on October 16, 1997. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of LLY owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 8000 share position pre-split, became a 16000 share position following the split.
When a company such as Lilly (Eli) and splits its shares, the market capitalization before and after the split takes place remains stable, meaning the shareholder now owns more shares but each are valued at a lower price per share. Often, however, a lower priced stock on a per-share basis can attract a wider range of buyers. If that increased demand causes the share price to appreciate, then the total market capitalization rises post-split. This does not always happen, however, often depending on the underlying fundamentals of the business.
