Every once in a while, we get a "How much would Microsoft had made if they had held their Apple stock until now" article.
Here's one from 2020:
>Microsoft held approximately 18.1 million shares in Apple at the time it started selling them. Since then, multiple stock splits have taken place: one on a 2-for-1 basis on February 28, 2005, and one on a 7-for-1 basis on June 9, 2014. This means those 18.1 million shares would have been 253.4 million shares as of today.
Multiply that by the current stock price of $503.43, and the result is a whopping $127.5 billion stake.

- maattdd 4y agoYou missed the 4:1 split in August 2020. If the rest of the calculation is correct, the value of those 18 millions stock would be almost 500 billions
- GeekyBear 4y agoThat article was written just a few days before the last 4:1 stock split took place, so it's just a snapshot in time. However, accounting for that last 4:1 split, Microsoft's 18.1 million shares would now be 72.4 million shares at the last closing price of $165.35.
