Have VIVUS's shares ever split?
VIVUS's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 10 September 2018. So if you had owned 10 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 VIVUS shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for VIVUS shares which in turn could have impacted VIVUS's share price.
VIVUS share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, VIVUS's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0 up to $0. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while VIVUS's is -0.8493. This would suggest that VIVUS's shares have been inversely-correlated to the average (for this exchange) – so when the broader market trended up or down, VIVUS has bucked the trend.
