ABV (ABV) has 2 splits in our ABV split history database. The first split for ABV took place on June 09, 2005. This was a 120 for 100 split, meaning for each 100 shares of ABV owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 120 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1200 share position following the split. ABV's second split took place on December 28, 2010. This was a 5 for 1 split, meaning for each share of ABV owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 5 shares. For example, a 1200 share position pre-split, became a 6000 share position following the split.
When a company such as ABV splits its shares, the market capitalization before and after the split takes place remains stable, meaning the shareholder now owns more shares but each are valued at a lower price per share. Often, however, a lower priced stock on a per-share basis can attract a wider range of buyers. If that increased demand causes the share price to appreciate, then the total market capitalization rises post-split. This does not always happen, however, often depending on the underlying fundamentals of the business.
Looking at the ABV split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 6000 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into ABV shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of ABV, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete ABV split history.
