This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Quanta Services shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Quanta Services shares which in turn could have impacted Quanta Services's share price.
Quanta Services share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Quanta Services's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$84.2593 up to US$140.04. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Quanta Services's is 1.1919.
