Value of 100 Shares of Microsoft bought when it went public in 1986

in #stocks8 years ago (edited)

Value of Microsoft IPO was decided as $21 per share. On its first day it finished at $31.25.

So if you brought 100 shares at $21 each then you had invested $2100 hard earned money into Microsoft hoping for best to happen.

Microsoft has since had 9 splits for a total of 288x, so if we adjust split with IPO price then it would have been 21/288 = @0.073 & Your 100 shares would have become 28,800 shares. Which is lots of shares.

So as of Yesterday 30th May 2017, value of your 28,800 shares would be 28,800x70.41 = $2,027,808, Means in 29 years you would get $2,027,808 from $2100 which is 96562% return.
