Oracle Corp has split its stock 10 times since its initial public offering (IPO). The first stock split occurred on March 25, 1987 with the ratio of 2-for-1, meaning that for 1 share of ORCL owned pre-split, shareholders then owned 2 shares. 9 more splits have been implemented since then. The most recent stock split took place on October 13, 2000 on a 2-for-1 basis.
These splits have increased ORCL stock's liquidity and made it more appealing to a larger group of investors. However, it's important to remember that these actions only change the number of shares and the price per share with no impact on Oracle Corp's total market capitalization.

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