Have CRISPR Therapeutics's shares ever split?

CRISPR Therapeutics share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, CRISPR Therapeutics's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$37.55 up to US$76.19. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

CRSP.US volatility(beta: 1.81)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while CRISPR Therapeutics's is 1.811. This would suggest that CRISPR Therapeutics's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
