Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Apple Stock in the Last 10 Years

If you had invested in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) stock over the past decade, you would have seen a significant return on your investment. According to a report by Benzinga, if you had bought Apple stock 10 years ago, you would have made a whopping 540% return.

To put that into perspective, if you had invested $1,000 in Apple stock in 2012, your investment would be worth approximately $6,400 today. That's a return of $5,400, or 540%, over the past decade.

The report looked at the performance of Apple stock over the past 10 years, from January 2012 to January 2022. It found that the stock has consistently delivered strong returns, with only a few minor setbacks along the way.

In 2012, Apple's stock price was around $420 per share. By the end of 2013, it had risen to around $550 per share, a gain of about 31%. The stock continued to rise throughout 2014 and 2015, reaching a peak of around $700 per share in early 2015.

While the stock price did dip slightly in 2016 and 2017, it quickly recovered and continued to rise throughout 2018 and 2019. In 2020, the stock price fell sharply due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it has since recovered and is now trading at around $180 per share.

The report also looked at the performance of Apple's competitors, such as Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL). While these companies have also delivered strong returns over the past decade, Apple's stock has outperformed them all.

Overall, the report suggests that investing in Apple stock over the past decade has been a highly profitable move. With the company's continued success and growth in the technology sector, it's likely that Apple's stock will continue to perform well in the years to come.
