Donaldson (DCI) has 6 splits in our DCI split history database. The first split for DCI took place on May 03, 1988. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of DCI owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 2000 share position following the split. DCI's second split took place on July 13, 1992. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of DCI owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 2000 share position pre-split, became a 3000 share position following the split. DCI's third split took place on April 07, 1994. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of DCI 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. DCI's 4th split took place on January 14, 1998. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of DCI owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 6000 share position pre-split, became a 12000 share position following the split. DCI's 5th split took place on March 22, 2004. This was a 2 for 1 split, meaning for each share of DCI owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 12000 share position pre-split, became a 24000 share position following the split. DCI's 6th split took place on March 26, 2012. This was a 2 for 1 split, meaning for each share of DCI owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 24000 share position pre-split, became a 48000 share position following the split.
When a company such as Donaldson 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 DCI split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 48000 today.
