split, meaning for each 10
shares of RVSB owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 11 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1100 share position following the split. RVSB's second split took place on October 01, 1997. This was a 2536 for 1000

For example, a 2789.6 share position pre-split, became a 5579.2 share position following the split.
When a company such as Riverview Bancorp 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 RVSB split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 5579.2 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Riverview Bancorp shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of RVSB, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete RVSB split history.
