What would $1000 invested in Apple in 1990 be worth today?
Therefore, if you had invested $1,000 in Apple stock in 1990, it would be worth approximately $598,972.50 today.
What does that look like on a brokerage statement? Check out the above chart and you'll see that if you invested $1,000 in Apple stock 20 years ago, it would today be worth almost $530,000. The same $1,000 invested in the S&P 500 would have theoretically turned into $6,186 over the same period.
With Microsoft trading at fresh all-time highs, it seemed like a good time to see what $1,000 invested in Microsoft stock 20 years ago would be worth today. Have a look at the above chart and you'll see that if you put a grand into MSFT stock two decades ago, today it would be worth more than $24,000.
A $1,000 investment could have purchased 7,692.31 shares of AAPL. The $1,000 investment in Apple stock at the time would be worth $1,455,538.90 today, based on a price of $189.22 for Apple at the time of writing.
The closing price for Apple (AAPL) in 1990 was $0.31, on December 31, 1990. It was up 23.5% for the year. The latest price is $169.90.
If you had invested $1,000 during Amazon's IPO in May 1997, your investment would be worth $1,341,000 as of August 31, according to CNBC calculations. That's better than the so-called FAANG stocks, plus Ebay – which debuted in that same period.
These three are gigantic trillion-dollar companies today, but they weren't always that large. Apple debuted on the public markets in 1980. If you invested $1,000 in the company, then your investment would now be worth nearly $1.5 million.
In dollar terms, that $1,000 investment in 1986 would be worth a whopping $3.23 million today.
Those gains translate to a 36.6% compound annual growth rate for Apple compared to a 7.4% CAGR for the S&P 500 in that time. That means that $10,000 in AAPL stock purchased 20 years ago would be worth about $5.08 million today, assuming reinvested dividends.
So, if you had invested in Microsoft a decade ago, you're probably feeling pretty good about your investment today. A $1000 investment made in February 2014 would be worth $11,326.86, or a gain of 1,032.69%, as of February 9, 2024, according to our calculations.
What if you invested $1,000 in Apple in 2000?
But if you were smart enough to invest $1,000 in Apple stock at the start of the year 2000, you'd be sitting on a monster gain of 21,230%. This means that modest investment would be worth a whopping $213,000 today (as of July 27).
If you had invested $1,000 in Apple stock on Feb. 4, 1997, today, you would have $1,343,269. Likewise, if you had invested $1,000 in an index fund replicating Nasdaq, you would have $11,038. A similar $1,000 investment in an index fund that replicates the S&P 500 would be worth $6,140.
Its stock price today is $194.17, which is an increase of 2,515% during this period. If you had invested $1,000 in Apple stock on Jan. 27, 2010, today, you would have $26,153.
With its 3-star rating, we believe Apple's stock is fairly valued compared with our long-term fair value estimate of $160 per share. Our valuation implies a fiscal 2024 adjusted price/earnings multiple of 25 times, a fiscal 2024 enterprise value/sales multiple of 7 times, and a fiscal 2024 free cash flow yield of 4%.
Monster Beverage has been an under-the-radar home-run investment since its 1990 IPO. In 30 years, Monster has generated a total return, which includes dividends, of 191,852% – making it the best-performing S&P 500 stock of the past three decades.
The lowest closing price for Apple (AAPL) all-time was $0.04, on July 8, 1982. The latest price is $166.91.
As a result, an investment of $10,000 a decade ago would be worth over $107,000 today. The company made many millionaires over the last decade, begging the question: Does it still have much to offer new investors? Let's examine Amazon's business more closely and determine whether it's still worth investing in in 2024.
If you had invested $10,000 in Amazon at its IPO price in 1997, you would have purchased 555 shares, not including commission expenses or fractional shares. Taking into account Amazon's four stock splits, these 555 shares would have multiplied into 133,200 shares, as of today.
So, if you had invested in Netflix ten years ago, you're likely feeling pretty good about your investment today. A $1000 investment made in March 2014 would be worth $9,728.72, or a gain of 872.87%, as of March 4, 2024, according to our calculations. This return excludes dividends but includes price appreciation.
Factoring in the company's five stock splits, these 454 shares would have increased to 101,696 shares, as of today. With Apple closing last week at $140.09, it means an initial $10,000 investment nearly 42 years ago would now be worth $14,246,593. Keep in mind that this figure doesn't take into account dividends paid.
How much is $10,000 in Apple stock 1984?
In any case, a $10,000 investment in Apple stock made in February 1984 -- held to today, with dividends reinvested -- would now be worth $22.8 million. Turning to the present, it's clear that artificial intelligence (AI) is about to change the world.
Year | Median Price Prediction | Potential Low |
---|---|---|
2024 | $216 | $183 |
2025 | $237 | $199 |
2026 | $298 | $271 |
2030 | $561 | $460 |
Discount Rate | Present Value | Future Value |
---|---|---|
2% | $1,000 | $1,485.95 |
3% | $1,000 | $1,806.11 |
4% | $1,000 | $2,191.12 |
5% | $1,000 | $2,653.30 |
A $10,000 investment in 1990 would be worth just over $11 million today. The move to the Nasdaq became a catalyst for the stock.
And if you've got a large portfolio totaling more than $1.1 million, your dividend income could come in around $50,000 per year. By then, there could be other dividend-focused ETFs to choose from.
