NiSource (NI) has 2 splits in our NI split history database. The first split for NI took place on February 23, 1998. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of NI 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. NI's second split took place on July 02, 2015. This was a 2545 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of NI owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2545 shares. For example, a 2000 share position pre-split, became a 5090 share position following the split.
When a company such as NiSource 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 NI split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 5090 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into NiSource shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of NI, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete NI split history.
