FUR (FUR) has 5 splits in our FUR split history database. The first split for FUR took place on May 01, 1986. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of FUR owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1500 share position following the split. FUR's second split took place on December 01, 2008. This was a 1 for 5 reverse split, meaning for each 5 shares of FUR owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1 share. For example, a 1500 share position pre-split, became a 300 share position following the split. FUR's third split took place on May 01, 1981. This was a 3 for 2 split, meaning for each 2 shares of FUR owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 300 share position pre-split, became a 450 share position following the split. FUR's 4th split took place on December 26, 1990. This was a 104 for 100 split, meaning for each 100 shares of FUR owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 104 shares. For example, a 450 share position pre-split, became a 468 share position following the split. FUR's 5th split took place on March 28, 2000. This was a 100 for 71 split, meaning for each 71 shares of FUR owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 100 shares. For example, a 468 share position pre-split, became a 659.154929577465 share position following the split.
When a company such as FUR 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. When a company such as FUR 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 FUR split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 659.154929577465 today.
