The company's first common stock was issued in 1940. It began trading over-the-counter (OTC) in 1946, right when the post-war economic boom was getting underway. Over the next 11 years, the stock traded OTC. During that time, Disney continued its business development and invented the modern-day massive theme park Disneyland in California in 1955.
Riding the tails of the park's successful opening, the business debuted on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). On November 12, 1957, Walt Disney stock went public at $13.88 a share. Since then, the company’s stock has split six times: in 1956, 1967, 1971, 1973, 1986, 1992 and 1998.
