W.P. Carey (WPC) has 1 split in our WPC split history database. The split for WPC took place on November 02, 2023. This was a 1021 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of WPC owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1021 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1021 share position following the split.
When a company such as W.P. Carey 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 WPC split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 1021 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into W.P. Carey shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of WPC, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete WPC split history.
