Apple stock splits since 2003
Apple's first stock split occurred on June 16, 1987. Those who purchased 10 shares when the company launched would have doubled their holdings to 20 shares, valued at $41.50 each, at the time of market close. Mathematically speaking, that initial $220 investment would suddenly be worth $830. Apple has a continuing history of splits—there have been four of them, 2-for-1 splits in 1987, 2000, and 2005, and an unusual 7-for-1 split in 2014, after the stock touched $700 a share.
