MCS Services 's shares were split on a 1:44 basis on 21 December 2014. So if you had owned 44 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your MCS Services shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for MCS Services shares which in turn could have impacted MCS Services 's share price.
Over the last 12 months, MCS Services 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.02 up to $0.078. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
