ANE (ANE) has 3 splits in our ANE split history database. The first split for ANE took place on July 18, 1997. This was a 4 for 3
split, meaning for each 3
shares of ANE owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 4 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1333.33333333333 share position following the split. ANE's second split took place on May 27, 1998. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of ANE owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 1333.33333333333 share position pre-split, became a 2000 share position following the split. ANE's third split took place on May 03, 2002. This was a 11 for 10 split, meaning for each 10 shares of ANE owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 11 shares. For example, a 2000 share position pre-split, became a 2200 share position following the split.
When a company such as ANE splits its shares, the market capitalization before and after the split takes place remains stable, meaning the shareholder now owns more shares but each are valued at a lower price per share. Often, however, a lower priced stock on a per-share basis can attract a wider range of buyers. If that increased demand causes the share price to appreciate, then the total market capitalization rises post-split. This does not always happen, however, often depending on the underlying fundamentals of the business.
Looking at the ANE split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 2200 today.
