This is how much you could have made if you had invested $10,000 in Apple stock 10 years ago. This means a total return of 914.3%. In comparison, S&P 500 total return for the same period is 257.58%.
Thanks to the combination of capital appreciation for the stock and cash returned directly to shareholders through dividend payments, Apple has delivered a total return of 885% over the last decade. That means that a $1,000 investment in the tech giant in late 2014 would now be worth almost $10,000.
Indeed, Apple shares will never get back to $700, says The Economist.

The Numbers on Apple Stock
Those gains translate to a 32.3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for Apple compared to an 8.3% CAGR for the S&P 500 in that time. That means that $10,000 in AAPL stock purchased 20 years ago would be worth more than $2.71 million today, assuming reinvested dividends.

In short, the stock has appreciated more than 2,200 times since its IPO. For further perspective, if you had instead invested $1,000 in the stock at its IPO, your investment would've been worth $2.2 million today, excluding the dividends that were paid to you over the years.
Here's your answer: If you'd invested $1,000 in shares of Tesla at the beginning of 2015, you'd have a stake worth $27,615 a decade later. That's an average annual gain of around 39%, more than triple the S&P 500's average annual gain of 12%.
So, if you had invested in Amazon ten years ago, you're likely feeling pretty good about your investment today. A $1000 investment made in December 2014 would be worth $14,983.08, or a gain of 1,398.31%, as of December 12, 2024, according to our calculations.
If you had invested $1,000 in Apple stock 20 years ago, today you'd have more than $227,000, at an annualized return of 31.2%. Including dividends reinvested, you'd be sitting on nearly $270,000.
The last big test for the broad stock market was in 2022, when the S&P 500 index fell 18%. Apple stock fell by 26%. So it is far from immune to macro market issues. That said, its strong financial condition is an above-average support mechanism for very long-term investors in the stock.
The stock value may increase to $271.00-431.00 by the end of 2025. However, some analysts expect the rate to decline to $230.49-207.83 in 2025. In 2026, the asset quotes will continue to grow. According to major analytical agencies, the value of TSLA may reach $305.36-471.00.

That makes the stock a buy today because even if you still don't think it's a bargain, investors will probably realize most of Coca-Cola's future growth and dividends as investment returns.
