Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCAU) has 2 splits in our FCAU split history database. The first split for FCAU took place on January 04, 2016. This was a 152 for 100 split, meaning for each 100 shares of FCAU owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 152 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1520 share position following the split. FCAU's second split took place on January 03, 2011. This was a 1000 for 434 split, meaning for each 434 shares of FCAU owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1000 shares.

When a company such as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles 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 FCAU split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 3502.30414746544 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Fiat Chrysler Automobiles shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of FCAU, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete FCAU split history.
