Fidelity D&D Bancorp (FDBC) has 3 splits in our FDBC split history database. The first split for FDBC took place on July 13, 2000. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of FDBC 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. FDBC's second split took place on January 26, 2006. This was a 11 for 10 split, meaning for each 10 shares of FDBC owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 11 shares.

For example, a 2200 share position pre-split, became a 3300 share position following the split.
When a company such as Fidelity D&D 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 FDBC split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 3300 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Fidelity D&D Bancorp shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of FDBC, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete FDBC split history.
