Apple Shares Rise as Trading Begins Following Four-for-One Stock Split

[MacRumors]

Apple's four-for-one stock split takes effect today, with the company's share price dropping from roughly $500 to around $125 as of the start of trading this morning.

The strong rise in Apple's stock price over the past five months has continued today, with shares trading nearly 3% higher in the first few minutes of trading. Apple shares have pared their gains since then, but are still up around 2% today.

Apple's overall market value of over $2 trillion is unaffected, as investors received three additional shares for every share of Apple stock they previously owned.

With all of these new product announcements, 5g iPhones, Apple Silicone, iPad Air..this is a steal of a price.. Apple sales on this new hardware is going to be through the roof..

Very excited to see where my mere 200 shares (post split) will go 😎

It’s literally a no-brainer to buy Apple stock. It’s like a guaranteed success.

I recommend investing in tulips. They’ve always done so well.

I agree, I saw so many posts bashing Robinhood Traders who can't wait to buy apple. I don't understand this thinking.. If you sat back and just invested in apple 20 years ago who knows where you would be now. When has this stock not been a guaranteed success? it just aways goes up..

Mr Bezos.. can you split amazon so I can actually afford it? lol.

Over the arc of time, be prepared for dramatic 40% drops. It can change on a dime. It just happened in March

For the long term investor, these drops are opportunities. Including for Apple who is taking $350 million of itself off the market everyday via buybacks

Worked at Apple for 7 years... since then, I've been with a public corp that sold itself to go private, but no company has equaled the portfolio performance that Apple stock has given me - paid for almost my entire house in cash because of them.

Missed out before this recent surge. So I'm waiting for a dip before jumping in.

I was there for 10 years. 😩
I didn’t invest as much as I should’ve, but still have a veryyy decent chunk.

If you sat back and just invested in apple 20 years ago who knows where you would be now.

I *could* have bought 5,000 shares in early 2000's when it was $10/share. Just ONE share at that price would now be 56 shares post splits, and worth a combined $7120.40.

I almost want to say hindsight is 20/20. But not this year 😷

You don’t even have to go back 20 years, even like the 9 months before iPhone announcement.

with investing your own money - do your due diligence
no one can predict the future

I mean with that logic then no one should invest anything Lol or on the flip side they should invest everything.

Idk how there can be negative comments on this article as if Apple is some “lucky” company.

Apple has been very low before. In the 90s I worked in an ex-Apple building in Cupertino. We had a number of ex-Apple employees that had options at higher prices (cost more to exercise) than the Apple market value. So worthless at that time.

As they say what goes up, will go down.

With that said, I have owned Apple since that time and am very happy I do. Also have owned for years Microsoft, Tesla, and Amazon.

Again, tulips had no earnings and did nothing.

Gotta love people with a cursory knowledge of past events and presenting it as if they know something.

It actually split at $498.00 and dropped $300.00 before the bell opened up. Common investors were able to sell the profits of the $498.00 stock split but other investors had to wait to sell it till it went down to $128.00.

Opportunity or insider trading?

People thought that about RIM, too.

This ain’t RIMM.

 

[Joseph Pi]

The way the company described the split and what really happened in math terms, are two seperate things. The stock really split at $498 but investors were not able to access it till $125.00.

 

[citysnaps]

Nice... Apple's sporting a $2.2 trillion valuation at this moment.

They made money for the people growing and selling them. They still do.

Come on y’all. Are you guys this pessimistic with everything? Lol. Has Apple not shown time and time again that they’re in it for the long haul? I don’t understand the constant doom and gloom.
