Alliance Resource Partners LP (ARLP) has 2 splits in our ARLP split history database. The first split for ARLP took place on September 16, 2005. This was a 2 for 1 split, meaning for each share of ARLP owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares.

When a company such as Alliance Resource Partners LP 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 ARLP split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 4000 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Alliance Resource Partners LP shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of ARLP, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete ARLP split history.
