This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your American Eagle Outfitters shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for American Eagle Outfitters shares which in turn could have impacted American Eagle Outfitters's share price.
