In the lаst yeаr, Trillium’s stоck price increаsed frоm $40 tо $150. Its recent profitability growth has put it among the top in its industry. It has never paid dividends and has no current plans to begin dividends, as the firm is still considered to be a growth firm. The Board of Directors of Trillium announced a 4 for 1 stock split today.
