That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.2% of the current stock value.

Thermo Fisher Scientific's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 5 June 1996. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares.

However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Thermo Fisher Scientific shares which in turn could have impacted Thermo Fisher Scientific's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Thermo Fisher Scientific's shares have ranged in value from as little as $475.5202 up to $617.3372. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
