The answer will depend on the decisions of the company's managers and market volatility. Equity Lifestyle Properties 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 ELS stock prices become too high or too low for retail investors. Therefore, the ultimate decisions will certainly be made by Equity Lifestyle Properties Inc.'s board of directors. Typically, no action is taken until its price per share reaches a specific threshold.
