STV (STV) has 1 split in our STV split history database. The split for STV took place on April 27, 2016. This was a 1131 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of STV owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1131 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1131 share position following the split.
When a company such as STV 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 STV split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 1131 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into STV shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of STV, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete STV split history.
