CACH (CACH) has 2 splits in our CACH split history database. The first split for CACH took place on June 21, 2004. This was a 3 for 2 split, meaning for each 2 shares of CACH 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. CACH's second split took place on April 09, 2013. This was a 1255 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of CACH owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1255 shares. For example, a 1500 share position pre-split, became a 1882.5 share position following the split.
When a company such as CACH 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 CACH split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 1882.5 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into CACH shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of CACH, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete CACH split history.
