CS (CS) has 3 splits in our CS split history database. The first split for CS took place on September 12, 1994. This was a 5 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of CS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 5 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 2500 share position following the split. CS's second split took place on November 27, 1996. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of CS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 2500 share position pre-split, became a 5000 share position following the split. CS's third split took place on May 01, 2013. This was a 1024 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of CS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1024 shares. For example, a 5000 share position pre-split, became a 5120 share position following the split.
When a company such as CS 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 CS split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 5120 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into CS shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of CS, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete CS split history.
