KMB's 5th split took place on November 03, 2014. This was a 1043 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of KMB owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1043 shares. 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. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Kimberly-Clark shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of KMB, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete Kimberly-Clark stock split history.
