This was a 3 for 2 split, meaning for each 2 shares of UFCS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1500 share position following the split. UFCS's second split took place on January 06, 1995. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of UFCS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 1500 share position pre-split, became a 2250 share position following the split. UFCS's third split took place on January 08, 1996. This was a 3 for 2

UFCS's 4th split took place on December 16, 2004. This was a 2 for 1 split, meaning for each share of UFCS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 3375 share position pre-split, became a 6750 share position following the split.
When a company such as United Fire Group 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 UFCS split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 6750 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into United Fire Group shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of UFCS, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete UFCS split history.
