|
|
A savings and loan holding company which is engaged in the business of attracting checking and savings deposits from the general public and using such deposits together with borrowings and other funds to make real estate business and consumer loans. According to our FED split history records, FED has had 2 splits. | |

FED (FED) has 2 splits in our FED split history database. The first split for FED took place on October 31, 1991. This was a 5 for 4
split, meaning for each 4
shares of FED owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 5 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1250 share position following the split. FED's second split took place on July 31, 1998. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of FED owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 1250 share position pre-split, became a 2500 share position following the split.
When a company such as FED 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 FED split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 2500 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into FED shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of FED, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete FED split history.
