RYF (RYF) has 1 split in our RYF split history database. The split for RYF took place on September 19, 2016. This was a 1432 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of RYF owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1432 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1432 share position following the split.
When a company such as RYF 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.
