Starbucks (SBUX) has 6 splits in our SBUX split history database. The first split for SBUX took place on September 30, 1993. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of SBUX 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. SBUX's second split took place on December 04, 1995. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of SBUX owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 2000 share position pre-split, became a 4000 share position following the split. SBUX's third split took place on March 22, 1999. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of SBUX owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 4000 share position pre-split, became a 8000 share position following the split. SBUX's 4th split took place on April 30, 2001. This was a 2 for 1 split, meaning for each share of SBUX owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 8000 share position pre-split, became a 16000 share position following the split. SBUX's 5th split took place on October 24, 2005. This was a 2 for 1 split, meaning for each share of SBUX owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares.

For example, a 32000 share position pre-split, became a 64000 share position following the split.
When a company such as Starbucks 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 SBUX split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 64000 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Starbucks shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of SBUX, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete SBUX split history.
