Conagra Brands (CAG) has 6 splits in our CAG split history database. The first split for CAG took place on July 01, 1985. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of CAG 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. CAG's second split took place on December 02, 1986. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of CAG owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 1500 share position pre-split, became a 3000 share position following the split. CAG's third split took place on December 04, 1989. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of CAG owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 3000 share position pre-split, became a 4500 share position following the split. CAG's 4th split took place on December 02, 1991. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of CAG owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 4500 share position pre-split, became a 6750 share position following the split. CAG's 5th split took place on October 02, 1997. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of CAG owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 6750 share position pre-split, became a 13500 share position following the split. CAG's 6th split took place on November 10, 2016. This was a 1285 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of CAG owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1285 shares. For example, a 13500 share position pre-split, became a 17347.5 share position following the split.
When a company such as Conagra Brands 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 CAG split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 17347.5 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Conagra Brands shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of CAG, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete CAG split history.
