AUO (AUO) has 4 splits in our AUO split history database. The first split for AUO took place on July 02, 2003. This was a 105 for 100 split, meaning for each 100 shares of AUO owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 105 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1050 share position following the split. AUO's second split took place on August 11, 2004. AUO's third split took place on July 14, 2005. This was a 109 for 100 split, meaning for each 100 shares of AUO owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 109 shares. For example, a 1050 share position pre-split, became a 1144.5 share position following the split. AUO's 4th split took place on August 01, 2006. This was a 103 for 100 split, meaning for each 100 shares of AUO owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 103 shares. For example, a 1144.5 share position pre-split, became a 1178.835 share position following the split.
When a company such as AUO 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 AUO split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 1178.835 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into AUO shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of AUO, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete AUO split history.
