Micron Technology (MU) has 3 splits in our MU split history database. The first split for MU took place on April 19, 1994. This was a 5 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of MU owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 5 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 2500 share position following the split. MU's second split took place on May 23, 1995. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of MU owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 2500 share position pre-split, became a 5000 share position following the split. MU's third split took place on May 02, 2000. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of MU owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 5000 share position pre-split, became a 10000 share position following the split.
When a company such as Micron Technology 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 MU split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 10000 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Micron Technology shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of MU, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete MU split history.
