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