BWINB (BWINB) has 2 splits in our BWINB split history database. The first split for BWINB took place on December 02, 1993. This was a 3 for 1
split, meaning for each share of BWINB owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 3000 share position following the split. BWINB's second split took place on March 04, 2003. This was a 5 for 4 split, meaning for each 4 shares of BWINB owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 5 shares. For example, a 3000 share position pre-split, became a 3750 share position following the split.
When a company such as BWINB 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 BWINB split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 3750 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into BWINB shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of BWINB, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete BWINB split history.
