TL;DR
- VOO, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, has never split since it launched in September 2010. One share costs the live price below.
- Vanguard split five other ETFs in April 2026, including VUG and VGT, but not VOO. Nothing has been announced for VOO.
- You don’t need a split to buy less: most brokers sell fractional shares, so you can invest $10 in VOO.
- LemonTrades tells you what moved the S&P 500, and why, as it happens.
VOO is one of the biggest funds in the world. Here’s where its share price stands.
Why VOO hasn’t split
- Splits make no difference to what a fund is worth.
- Fractional shares at most brokers make a high price less of a problem.
- Vanguard says it splits ETFs when the price, trading spreads and volume suggest it would help investors, and VOO trades in huge volume with tight spreads.
The ETFs Vanguard did split
| ETF | Ratio | Date |
|---|---|---|
| VUG | 6-for-1 | April 21, 2026 |
| MGK | 5-for-1 | April 21, 2026 |
| VOOG | 6-for-1 | April 21, 2026 |
| VO | 4-for-1 | April 21, 2026 |
| VGT | 8-for-1 | April 21, 2026 |
If VOO did split
Say a 5-for-1 split: 10 shares at $674 would become 50 shares at about $135. Your total stays the same, no tax is due, and the dividend per share is cut to one-fifth on five times as many shares.
Cheaper-per-share S&P 500 funds
If you want whole shares for less, some S&P 500 funds have lower share prices, and Schwab’s SWPPX mutual fund split 6-for-1 in 2025: see SWPPX stock split. More on VOO: is VOO a good investment and does VOO pay dividends.
