Impact of the SCHG 4-for-1 Split
For current SCHG holders, the 4-for-1 split does not change the overall value of their investment but does increase the number of shares they own while reducing the price per share.
- Lower Share Price, Same Investment Value: Before the split, SCHG was trading at $103.90 per share. After the 4-for-1 split, the price per share is approximately $26.28, while shareholders now own four times as many shares. For example, if an investor held 100 shares worth $10,390 pre-split, they would now own 400 shares post-split, with the total investment value remaining unchanged.
- Increased Accessibility: By reducing the price per share, SCHG becomes more affordable for individual investors who prefer purchasing full shares rather than fractional ones. The lower price point could attract more investors, particularly those looking to gain exposure to high-growth U.S. companies at a lower entry price.
