TWGP (TWGP) has 1 split in our TWGP split history database. The split for TWGP took place on March 14, 2013. This was a 1133 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of TWGP owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1133 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1133 share position following the split.
When a company such as TWGP 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 TWGP split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 1133 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into TWGP shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of TWGP, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete TWGP split history.
