For example, a 16000 share position pre-split, became a 16688 share position following the split.
When a company such as Kimberly-Clark 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 Kimberly-Clark stock split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 16688 today.
