Q: Just trying to clarify post split prices and dividend numbers on various sites.
For ex., CP was $11.66 on 22Jun2011 and paid a dividend of 0.06 per quarter.
On the 14May21 CP split 5:1 so you got 5 shares for each one you previously held.
Charts, TD webbroker for example, show no change in either the price nor dividend amount pre and post split. So one assumes they have adjusted the pre split prices by dividing by 5 back to the beginning of the chart?
The annual dividend about is now $0.19/qtr or 0.76 annually. If one held CP prior to the split, his total dividend would then be 5 X 0.76 or $3.80 annually?
The dividend value indicated on 22Jun2011 of $0.06 would not need to be adjusted as the dividend per share went from $0.06 to $0.19 over the total period?
Tx.
