First Bancorp (FBNC) has 3 splits in our FBNC split history database. The first split for FBNC took place on September 16, 1996. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of FBNC 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. FBNC's second split took place on September 14, 1999. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of FBNC 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. FBNC's third split took place on November 16, 2004. This was a 3 for 2 split, meaning for each 2 shares of FBNC owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 3000 share position pre-split, became a 4500 share position following the split.
When a company such as First Bancorp 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 FBNC split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 4500 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into First Bancorp shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of FBNC, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete FBNC split history.
