Returns & Corporate Actions
Split what a holder earned into price and dividends, then see what corporate actions change and what they don't.
Learning focus: A split changes the number of shares, not what they're worth, while a buyback moves cash to some holders and leaves fewer shares for the rest.

What each action changes
| Shares (m) | Price | EPS | Book per share | Market cap (m) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Today | 97.14 | 44.50 | 2.61 | 15.41 | 4,322.8 |
| 2.00-for-1 split | 194.28 | 22.25 | 1.31 | 7.71 | 4,322.8 |
| 5.0% stock dividend | 102.00 | 42.38 | 2.49 | 14.68 | 4,322.8 |
| $50m buyback at the price | 96.02 | 44.50 | 2.64 | 15.07 | 4,272.8 |
A buyback at the market price shrinks market cap by the cash paid out. EPS rises because there are fewer shares, ignoring interest lost on that cash.
