Are you considering whether you should begin investing in the stock market? Wondering if you should begin placing your hard-earned dollars on shares that you hope are a good bet? Want to know how much growth can take place over a decade if you invest in one of the most successful companies on earth?
Say you’d invested $1,000 in Apple stock in 2017, the first year of President-elect Donald Trump’s first presidency. How much would that $1,000 be worth now, in what will be the first year of Trump’s second presidency?
Apple Stock Prices and Your Profits
Apple’s stock prices have appreciated significantly over the last seven years. In 2017, Apple’s stock prices were approximately $40 per share at their maximum. As of January 2025, Apple’s stock price has markedly increased and is now approximately $240 per share, according to Yahoo Finance.
If you’d invested $1,000 in Apple early in Trump’s first presidential administration, you would have purchased around 25 shares. Those shares would now be worth approximately $6,000. That’s an increase of six times the amount invested.
Further, if one were to reinvest the dividends that were received during that seven-year period, your stock investment would be worth even more. If you’ve considered investing in Apple, there may be no better time to dive into the market — consider how much $1,000 could grow over a decade, let alone another seven years.
