Kroger (KR) has 5 splits in our KR split history database. The first split for KR took place on May 29, 1979. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of KR 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. KR's second split took place on October 01, 1986. This was a 2 for 1

split, meaning for each share of KR owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 4000 share position pre-split, became a 8000 share position following the split. KR's 4th split took place on June 29, 1999. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of KR owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 8000 share position pre-split, became a 16000 share position following the split. KR's 5th split took place on July 14, 2015. This was a 2 for 1 split, meaning for each share of KR owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 16000 share position pre-split, became a 32000 share position following the split.
When a company such as Kroger 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 KR split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 32000 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Kroger shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of KR, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete KR split history.
