GameStop share price volatility

Have GameStop's shares ever split?
GameStop's shares were split on a 4:1 basis on 21 July 2022. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 4 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your GameStop shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 75% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for GameStop shares which in turn could have impacted GameStop's share price.
