Cohen and Steers (CNS) has 2 splits in our CNS split history database. The first split for CNS took place on December 26, 1996. This was a 5 for 4
split, meaning for each 4
shares of CNS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 5 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1250 share position following the split. CNS's second split took place on June 25, 1997. This was a 5 for 4
split, meaning for each 4
shares of CNS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 5 shares. For example, a 1250 share position pre-split, became a 1562.5 share position following the split.
When a company such as Cohen and Steers 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 CNS split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 1562.5 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Cohen and Steers shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of CNS, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete CNS split history.
