Deswell Industries (DSWL) has 3 splits in our DSWL split history database. The first split for DSWL took place on July 23, 2002. This was a 3 for 2 split, meaning for each 2 shares of DSWL owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares.

This was a 3 for 2 split, meaning for each 2 shares of DSWL owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares.

When a company such as Deswell Industries 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 DSWL split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 2250 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Deswell Industries shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of DSWL, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete DSWL split history.
