What if you invested $10,000 in Apple 20 years ago?

$10,000 invested in the iPhone maker 20 years ago would've made you a multimillionaire. In 2023, it's difficult to imagine a world of phones and personal electronic devices that is not dominated by Apple. However, way back in 2003, Apple wasn't even in the smartphone business.

Should you invest $100 in Apple?

However, that's only for a relatively small investment of $100. In percentage terms, Apple stock has compounded at 18% per year since its IPO price. That means that if you had invested $10,000 in Apple in 1980, you would have about $6.7 million. Dividends would have padded your investment return somewhat.

What if you invested $10,000 in Apple at IPO price?

If you had the luck, wherewithal, and stomach to invest $10,000 into Apple at its IPO price, you would have been able to purchase 454 shares, excluding fractional shares and commission fees. Factoring in the company's five stock splits, these 454 shares would have increased to 101,696 shares, as of today.
