Have Kulicke & Soffa Industries's shares ever split?
Kulicke & Soffa Industries's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 31 July 2000 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Kulicke & Soffa Industries shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Kulicke & Soffa Industries shares which in turn could have impacted Kulicke & Soffa Industries's share price.
Kulicke & Soffa Industries share price volatility
