All VMC stock splits
| Effective date | Split | Close before | First close after | Shares today per 1 held before |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Split is new shares for old shares: in a 10-for-1 split one share becomes ten. Close before is the last close before the effective date and first close after is the first close on or after it, both as traded in VMC's own history (not adjusted), so the two differ by about the split ratio plus that day's market move. Shares today shows how many shares one share held just before that split has become after it and every later split. Dates and ratios: EODHD.

How to read VMC's split history
A stock split changes the number of shares and the price per share by the same factor, so the value of a holding stays the same on the day. Vulcan Materials's 3-for-1 split on 11 Mar 1999 is the latest in our data: each share held before became 3 shares.
A split does not change what a company earns or what it is worth. Per-share figures such as earnings and dividends per share are restated by the ratio, which is why old prices look different in an adjusted chart than in the newspaper of the day. The VMC stock page has the current score and fair value range, and the VMC price history lists daily prices with both as-traded and adjusted closes.
