Carnival (CUK) has 1 split in our CUK split history database. The split for CUK took place on April 21, 2003. This was a 1201 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of CUK owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1201 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1201 share position following the split.
When a company such as Carnival 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 CUK split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 1201 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Carnival shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of CUK, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete CUK split history.
