VAALCO Energy (EGY) has 2 splits in our VAALCO Energy stock split history database. The first split for EGY took place on June 17, 1997. This was a 5 for 4
split, meaning for each 4
shares of EGY owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 5 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 1250 share position following the split. EGY's second split took place on February 19, 1998. This was a 11 for 10
split, meaning for each 10
shares of EGY owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 11 shares. For example, a 1250 share position pre-split, became a 1375 share position following the split.
When a company such as VAALCO Energy 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 VAALCO Energy stock split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 1375 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into VAALCO Energy shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of EGY, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete VAALCO Energy stock split history.
