Dish Network (DISH) has 3 splits in our DISH split history database. The first split for DISH took place on July 20, 1999. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of DISH 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. DISH's second split took place on October 26, 1999. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of DISH owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 2000 share position pre-split, became a 4000 share position following the split. DISH's third split took place on March 23, 2000. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of DISH owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 4000 share position pre-split, became a 8000 share position following the split.
When a company such as Dish Network 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 DISH split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 8000 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Dish Network shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of DISH, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete DISH split history.
