Duff and Phelps Utility and Corporate Bond Trust (DUC) has 1 split in our DUC split history database. The split for DUC took place on February 04, 2014. This was a 13 for 10 split, meaning for each 10 shares of DUC owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 13 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1300 share position following the split.
When a company such as Duff and Phelps Utility and Corporate Bond Trust 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 DUC split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 1300 today.
