For example, a 3375 share position pre-split, became a 6750 share position following the split.
When a company such as Meridian 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 MRBK split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 6750 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Meridian shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of MRBK, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete MRBK split history.
