Have Vaxart's shares ever split?
Vaxart's shares were split on a 1:11 basis on 14 February 2018. So if you had owned 11 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Vaxart shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1000% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Vaxart shares which in turn could have impacted Vaxart's share price.
