Masco (MAS) has 3 splits in our Masco stock split history database. The first split for MAS took place on May 20, 1986. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of MAS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 2000 share position following the split. MAS's second split took place on July 13, 1998. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of MAS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 2 shares. For example, a 2000 share position pre-split, became a 4000 share position following the split. MAS's third split took place on July 01, 2015. This was a 1138 for 1000 split, meaning for each 1000 shares of MAS owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 1138 shares. For example, a 4000 share position pre-split, became a 4552 share position following the split.
When a company such as Masco 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 Masco stock split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 4552 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Masco shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of MAS, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete Masco stock split history.
