BHP Group (BHP) has 3 splits in our BHP split history database. The first split for BHP took place on June 25, 1996. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of BHP 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. BHP's second split took place on July 13, 2001. This was a 20651 for 10000 split, meaning for each 10000 shares of BHP owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 20651 shares. For example, a 2000 share position pre-split, became a 4130.2 share position following the split. BHP's third split took place on June 02, 2022. This was a 1121 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of BHP owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1121 shares. For example, a 4130.2 share position pre-split, became a 4629.9542 share position following the split.
When a company such as BHP Group 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 BHP split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 4629.9542 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into BHP Group shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of BHP, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete BHP split history.
