Agilent Technologies Inc has split its stock 2 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on October 06, 2016 with the ratio of 1-for-3, meaning that for 3 shares of AA owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 1 share. The most recent stock split took place on November 01, 2016 on a 1000-for-801 basis.
These actions have increased AA stock's liquidity and made it more appealing to a larger group of investors. However, it's important to remember that a stock split only change the number of shares and the price per share with no impact on Agilent Technologies Inc's total market capitalization.

The answer will depend on the decisions of the company's managers and market volatility. Agilent Technologies Inc has not made an official announcement regarding whether it will enact a stock split or reverse stock split, but it has a history of doing so when AA stock prices become too high or too low for retail investors. Therefore, the ultimate decisions will certainly be made by Agilent Technologies Inc's board of directors. Typically, no action is taken until its price per share reaches a specific threshold.
