Mastercard Incorporated (MA) Stock Split History

Mastercard Incorporated has split its stock once since its initial public offering (IPO). The stock split of Mastercard Incorporated occurred on January 22, 2014 on a 10-for-1 basis, meaning that for 1 share of MA owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 10 shares.

This action has increased the 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 changes the number of shares and the price per share with no impact on Mastercard Incorporated's total market capitalization.

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.
