Looking at the NVIDIA stock split history from start to finish, an original position size of 1000 shares would have turned into 48000 today. This does not always happen, however, often depending on the underlying fundamentals of the business. If that increased demand causes the share price to appreciate, then the total market capitalization rises post-split. Often, however, a lower priced stock on a per-share basis can attract a wider range of buyers. When a company such as NVIDIA 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. For example, a 12000 share position pre-split, became a 48000 share position following the split. This was a 4 for 1 split, meaning for each share of NVDA owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 4 shares. NVDA's 5th split took place on July 20, 2021. For example, a 8000 share position pre-split, became a 12000 share position following the split. This was a 3 for 2 split, meaning for each 2 shares of NVDA owned pre-split, the shareholder now owned 3 shares. NVDA's 4th split took place on September 11, 2007.
