Since the stock market crash in March caused by coronavirus, Saga's share price has had significant negative movement.
Its last market close was 127.64p, which is 81.01% down on its pre-crash value of 672p (accounting for the 13 October 2020 split) and 47.02% down on the lowest point reached during the March crash when the shares fell as low as 187.65p (accounting for the 13 October 2020 split).
If you had bought £1,000 worth of Saga shares at the start of February 2020, those shares would have been worth £377.93 at the bottom of the March crash, and if you held on to them, then as of the last market close they'd be worth £211.58.

TTM: trailing 12 months
We're not expecting Saga to pay a dividend over the next 12 months. However, you can browse other dividend-paying shares in our guide.
Saga's shares were split on a 1:15 basis on 13 October 2020. So if you had owned 15 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 Saga shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Saga shares which in turn could have impacted Saga's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Saga's shares have ranged in value from as little as 118.5p up to 743.8257p. 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 (LSE average) beta is 1, while Saga's is 2.2568. This would suggest that Saga's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
