19. Apple’s Highest Stock Value Ever Was Actually Higher Than It Is Now
While Apple (AAPL) shares are currently trading at ‘their all-time high’ of around $144 apiece, there was once a time, believe it or not, when the company’s stock was hovering around $650 a share. Back in 2014, according to The Wall Street Journal, Apple Inc. was worth so much money, the company had to divest its shares by authorizing a 7-for-1 stock split — effectively rendering 1 share of $645 AAPL stock the equivalent of 7 shares at around $94 apiece. Still, the company’s ‘new’ value has nearly doubled since then.
