Watts Water Technologies (WTS) has 2 splits in our WTS split history database. The first split for WTS took place on March 16, 1994. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of WTS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 2000 share position following the split. WTS's second split took place on October 19, 1999. This was a 10000 for 7204 split, meaning for each 7204 shares of WTS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 10000 shares. For example, a 2000 share position pre-split, became a 2776.23542476402 share position following the split.
When a company such as Watts Water Technologies 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 WTS split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 2776.23542476402 today.
