Split History
UL split history picture
Unilever (UL) has 3 splits in our UL split history database. The first split for UL took place on October 21, 1997. This was a 4 for 1 split, meaning for each share of UL owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 4 shares. For example, a 1000 share position pre-split, became a 4000 share position following the split. UL's second split took place on May 25, 2006. This was a 9 for 5 split, meaning for each 5 shares of UL owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 9 shares. For example, a 4000 share position pre-split, became a 7200 share position following the split. UL's third split took place on July 14, 1987. This was a 5 for 1 split, meaning for each share of UL owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 5 shares. For example, a 7200 share position pre-split, became a 36000 share position following the split.

When a company such as Unilever 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 UL split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 36000 today. Below, we examine the compound annual growth rate — CAGR for short — of an investment into Unilever shares, starting with a $10,000 purchase of UL, presented on a split-history-adjusted basis factoring in the complete UL split history.
