We're not expecting F5 Networks to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
F5 Networks's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 20 August 2007. 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 F5 Networks shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for F5 Networks shares which in turn could have impacted F5 Networks's share price.
Over the last 12 months, F5 Networks's shares have ranged in value from as little as $133.675 up to $217.41. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
