BTN (BTN) has 3 splits in our BTN split history database. The first split for BTN took place on March 06, 1997. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of BTN owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1500 share position following the split. BTN's second split took place on June 15, 1998. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of BTN owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 1500 share position pre-split, became a 2250 share position following the split. BTN's third split took place on February 10, 1999. This was a 105 for 100
split, meaning for each 100
shares of BTN owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 105 shares. For example, a 2250 share position pre-split, became a 2362.5 share position following the split.
When a company such as BTN 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 BTN split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 2362.5 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into BTN shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of BTN, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete BTN split history.
