RPC (RES) has 6 splits in our RES split history database. The first split for RES took place on December 11, 1997. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of RES 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. RES's second split took place on March 11, 2005. This was a 3 for 2 split, meaning for each 2 shares of RES owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 2000 share position pre-split, became a 3000 share position following the split. RES's third split took place on December 13, 2005. This was a 3 for 2 split, meaning for each 2 shares of RES owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 3000 share position pre-split, became a 4500 share position following the split. RES's 4th split took place on December 12, 2006.

For example, a 4500 share position pre-split, became a 6750 share position following the split. RES's 5th split took place on December 13, 2010. This was a 3 for 2 split, meaning for each 2 shares of RES owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 6750 share position pre-split, became a 10125 share position following the split. RES's 6th split took place on March 12, 2012. This was a 3 for 2 split, meaning for each 2 shares of RES owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 10125 share position pre-split, became a 15187.5 share position following the split.
When a company such as RPC 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 RES split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 15187.5 today.
