Enbridge (ENB) has 3 splits in our ENB split history database. The first split for ENB took place on May 31, 2005. This was a 2 for 1 split, meaning for each share of ENB 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. ENB's second split took place on June 01, 2011. This was a 2 for 1 split, meaning for each share of ENB 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. ENB's third split took place on May 06, 1991. This was a 1642 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of ENB owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1642 shares. For example, a 4000 share position pre-split, became a 6568 share position following the split.
When a company such as Enbridge 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 ENB split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 6568 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Enbridge shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of ENB, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete ENB split history.
