CWG (CWG) has 2 splits in our CWG split history database. The first split for CWG took place on July 23, 1996. This was a 3 for 1
split, meaning for each share of CWG owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 3000 share position following the split. CWG's second split took place on September 13, 2000. This was a 10124 for 10000 split, meaning for each 10000 shares of CWG owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 10124 shares. For example, a 3000 share position pre-split, became a 3037.2 share position following the split.
When a company such as CWG 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 CWG split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 3037.2 today.
