Have Xref 's shares ever split?

Xref 's shares were split on a 1:50 basis on 29 November 2015. So if you had owned 50 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 Xref shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 4900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Xref shares which in turn could have impacted Xref 's share price.

Xref share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Xref 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.08 up to $0.435. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Xref 's is 1.9345. This would suggest that Xref 's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
