Snap-On (SNA) has 2 splits in our Snap-On stock split history database. The first split for SNA took place on July 28, 1986. This was a 2 for 1
split, meaning for each share of SNA 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. SNA's second split took place on September 11, 1996. This was a 3 for 2
split, meaning for each 2
shares of SNA owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. For example, a 2000 share position pre-split, became a 3000 share position following the split.
When a company such as Snap-On 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 Snap-On stock split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 3000 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Snap-On shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of SNA, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete Snap-On stock split history.
