BlackRock Core Bond Trust (BHK) has 1 split in our BHK split history database. The split for BHK took place on May 27, 2025. This was a 1022 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of BHK owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1022 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1022 share position following the split.
When a company such as BlackRock Core Bond Trust 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 BHK split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 1022 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into BlackRock Core Bond Trust shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of BHK, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete BHK split history.
