SGB (SGB) has 2 splits in our SGB split history database. The first split for SGB took place on October 03, 2002. This was a 11 for 10 split, meaning for each 10 shares of SGB 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. SGB's second split took place on November 01, 2004. This was a 120 for 100 split, meaning for each 100 shares of SGB owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 120 shares. For example, a 1100 share position pre-split, became a 1320 share position following the split.
When a company such as SGB 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 SGB split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 1320 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into SGB shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of SGB, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete SGB split history.
