Boeing (BA) has 8 splits in our BA split history database. The first split for BA took place on May 18, 1966. This was a 2 for 1 split, meaning for each share of BA owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 2000 share position following the split. BA's second split took place on September 13, 1977. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of BA owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 2000 share position pre-split, became a 4000 share position following the split. BA's third split took place on April 16, 1979. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of BA owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 4000 share position pre-split, became a 6000 share position following the split. BA's 4th split took place on April 15, 1980. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of BA owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 6000 share position pre-split, became a 9000 share position following the split. BA's 5th split took place on June 10, 1985. This was a 3 for 2

split, meaning for each share of BA owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 30375 share position pre-split, became a 60750 share position following the split.
When a company such as Boeing 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 BA split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 60750 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Boeing shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of BA, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete BA split history.
