This page is one step of our Stock Recovery Process. There is
a link to the next step at the end of this page. If you haven't gone
through the previous steps to determine which of six HP-related stocks
you should have, start here:

There are four dates associated with any stock event. The announcement
date.
The Record Date, specified in the announcement, the date used to determine the number of shares or
amount of cash each shareholder receives. The next stock
market business day is the Effective Date. The Distribution Date,
usually weeks later, is the actual distribution of
the additional shares or cash. This table is sorted by Effective Date.
Compare the date when you first acquired Compaq stock with the dates
in the left-hand column. If you
acquired DEC or Tandem stock before those companies were bought by
Compaq, those batches of stock should be tracked separately.

The table below is from the online system available to customers of
one broker, Charles Schwab & Co. The HPAA member who
contributed this table did not hold this stock before 1990.
Note: Members report that brokerages, plan administrators, and
transfer agents vary (sometimes dramatically) in how (or if) they make
gain/loss
and cost basis calculations and in what they report to the IRS. Each of
hundreds of firms is expected to read SEC filings, analyze Corporate
Action Notices, and update the records they maintain on behalf of their
clients.
The same four splits are listed in the last pre-merger copy of Compaq's
Investor Relations website in the
Internet Archive. "Compaq stock has split four times since it began
trading in 1983."
This table only covers stock HP/HPE events through
04/30/2019. See our
HP Stock Decoder
for subsequent HP-related stock events. Corporate

[Note: This is how broker Charles Schwab handled each
event -- your broker may have handled some of them differently.]
