<\/p>\n

Oracle\u2019s stock performance from the 1980s pushed the tech giant to split its shares. Its fortunes rose and fell during the dot-com era, and then picked up again in recent years with the popularity of artificial intelligence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how many times Oracle \u2014 whose foundational business was database software management before expanding into cloud computing and AI \u2014 split its shares.<\/p>\n

When did Oracle conduct its first stock split?<\/h2>\n

When was Oracle\u2019s last stock split?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Oracle\u2019s last stock split was in October 2000. From the mid-1980s to 2000, the stock had risen significantly and splitting its shares would reduce the per-share price would make the stock more accessible to retail investors. Adjusted for all stock splits, Oracle\u2019s stock rose from around 10 cents in early 1987 to a peak of around $46 in 2000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How many times has Oracle split its stock?<\/h2>\n

Oracle has conducted a total of 10 stock splits. The first stock split was 2-for-1 in March 1987, followed by another 2-for-1 in December, and again in June 1989 and in November 1993. The company changed the ratio to 3-for-2 in February 1995, April 1996, August 1997, and February 1999. It returned to the 2-for-1 stock split in January and October of 2000, which was during the peak of the dot-com era. Since then Oracle has held off from splitting its shares.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      Oracle\u2019s stock price performance<\/h2>\n

      Oracle went through its initial public offering (IPO) on March 12, 1986 and set its offering price at $15 a share. Over the next 40 years, the stock would increase more than 3,000 times. A $10,000 investment from its IPO would be valued at $30.378 million.<\/p>\n

      However, Oracle\u2019s stock price performance wasn\u2019t a straight line up to record highs. During the dot-com era, the stock peaked at around $46. After the dot-com crash, Oracle\u2019s share price tumbled and then traded in a narrow range, and that was most likely a reason the company hadn\u2019t conducted a stock split since 2000. The stock would not break above the $46 level until 2017.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      What would Oracle\u2019s stock price be in 2026 if it hadn\u2019t conducted any stock splits?<\/h2>\n

      Oracle\u2019s share price, had the stock not been split 10 times, can be calculated by multiplying the current stock price by the cumulative stock split ratio, in this case, 324:<\/p>\n

      Current Oracle stock price x (2\u00d72\u00d72\u00d72\u00d71.5\u00d71.5\u00d71.5\u00d71.5\u00d72\u00d72) = Oracle stock price had the stock never been split<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

      Current Oracle stock price x (324) = Oracle stock price had the stock never been split<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

      Had Oracle never implemented stock splits, a share would be valued at $45,567, based on the July 10, 2026 closing price of $140.64. At that 5-digit price, Oracle would be out of the price range of many retail investors, unless they buy fractional shares.<\/p>\n

      Is Oracle going to split its stock again?<\/h2>\n

      Oracle\u2019s stock peaked at $328 in September 2025 amid its push into cloud computing and artificial intelligence, but it has lost more than half heading into the second half of 2026.<\/p>\n

      With the recent decline in stock price from its highs, it doesn\u2019t seem likely that Oracle would be conducting a stock split anytime soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
