Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company's shares were split on a 1:2 basis on 21 October 2013. So if you had owned 2 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 Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 100% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company shares which in turn could have impacted Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $4.92 up to $18.48. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
