CSC (CSC) has 3 splits in our CSC split history database. The first split for CSC took place on January 13, 1994. This was a 3 for 1
split, meaning for each share of CSC 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. CSC's second split took place on March 24, 1998. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of CSC owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 3000 share position pre-split, became a 6000 share position following the split. CSC's third split took place on November 30, 2015. This was a 2373 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of CSC owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2373 shares. For example, a 6000 share position pre-split, became a 14238 share position following the split.
When a company such as CSC 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 CSC split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 14238 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into CSC shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of CSC, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete CSC split history.
