Understanding NUGT NUGT has 5 splits history.
What Happens When Nugt splits its shares. The market capitalization before and after the split remains the same. The only difference is that you as the shareholder now owns more shares while each share is valued at a lower price per share. However, since a lower priced stock on a per-share basis generally attracts a wider range of buyers, the share price may appreciate as a lower share price tends to attract more buyers to trade. This may result in the total market capitalization to rise after the split. What Happens When Nugt Reverse its Shares When Nugt conducts a reverse share split, it is usually because shares have fallen to a lower per-share price point than the company would like. Certain types of mutual funds might have a limit governing which stocks they may buy, based upon per-share price. The $5 and $10 price points tend to be important in this regard. So when a company does a reverse split, it may want to prop up its share price and prevent too much trading like what happen to Nugt on 1 May 2017. However, the share price will normally drop after a reverse share split causing the market capitalization to drop.
