Hasbro (HAS) has 5 splits in our Hasbro stock split history database. The first split for HAS took place on January 28, 1985. This was a 5 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of HAS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 5 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 2500 share position following the split. HAS's second split took place on August 15, 1986. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of HAS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 2500 share position pre-split, became a 5000 share position following the split. HAS's third split took place on March 17, 1992. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of HAS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 5000 share position pre-split, became a 7500 share position following the split. HAS's 4th split took place on March 24, 1997. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of HAS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 7500 share position pre-split, became a 11250 share position following the split. HAS's 5th split took place on March 16, 1999. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of HAS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 11250 share position pre-split, became a 16875 share position following the split.
When a company such as Hasbro 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 Hasbro stock split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 16875 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Hasbro shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of HAS, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete Hasbro stock split history.
