3M (MMM) has 5 splits in our MMM split history database. The first split for MMM took place on June 16, 1972. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of MMM 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. MMM's second split took place on June 16, 1987. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of MMM owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 2000 share position pre-split, became a 4000 share position following the split. MMM's third split took place on April 11, 1994. This was a 2 for 1

MMM's 4th split took place on September 30, 2003. This was a 2 for 1 split, meaning for each share of MMM 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. MMM's 5th split took place on April 01, 2024. This was a 1196 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of MMM owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1196 shares. For example, a 16000 share position pre-split, became a 19136 share position following the split.
When a company such as 3M 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 MMM split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 19136 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into 3M shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of MMM, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete MMM split history.
