BVA (BVA) has 2 splits in our BVA split history database. The first split for BVA took place on September 27, 1996. This was a 1 for 10
reverse split, meaning for each 10
shares of BVA owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1 share. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 100 share position following the split. BVA's second split took place on April 01, 2013. This was a 664 for 1000 reverse split, meaning for each 1000 shares of BVA owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 664 shares. For example, a 100 share position pre-split, became a 66.4 share position following the split.
When a company such as BVA conducts a reverse share split, it is usually because shares have fallen to a lower per-share pricepoint than the company would like. This can be important because, for example, certain types of mutual funds might have a limit governing which stocks they may buy, based upon per-share price. The $5 and $10 pricepoints tend to be important in this regard. Stock exchanges also tend to look at per-share price, setting a lower limit for listing eligibility. So when a company does a reverse split, it is looking mathematically at the market capitalization before and after the reverse split takes place, and concluding that if the market capitilization remains stable, the reduced share count should result in a higher price per share.
Looking at the BVA split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 66.4 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into BVA shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of BVA, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete BVA split history.
