What would 5000 of Microsoft stock bought in 1976 be worth today?

If in 1976 you could buy 5000 shares of what is now Microsoft stock, it would be worth the same as 5000 shares of Microsoft that was purchased today - no matter when you bought it, it would be 5000 x today's stock price of Microsoft (you would probably pay more today). You probably want to know how rich you would be today if you had purchased 5000 shares of Microsoft stock in 1976. That would take some research because the shares of Microsoft stock available in 1976 are probably not the same as what is available today (because of splits and other events that could have occurred).


The offering price was 21.00 per share at this company's IPO on March 13 1986 Exactly 20 years later that share would have been split in 288 shares each worth 27.10 for a total of 7804.80 Who?

Microsoft

What are shares in a company?

Suppose you want to start a lemonade stand. It will cost $100 to get all of the materials together and set up the business. You have $80. Your best friend has $20 and is willing to invest in the company. You decide to split the company 80/20, based on the money you each put in. This means you own 80% of the company and your friend owns 20%. If you think of this in terms of shares, you own 80 shares worth $1 apiece and your friend owns 20 shares at $1 apiece (or you own 4 shares at $20 apiece or 40 shares at $2 apiece or however many shares you decide the company will have). At the end of every month, you get 80% of the profits and your friend gets 20%. If you both decide your friend wants to own more of the company, you can sell some of your shares so that you each own 50% of the company.

Why preference shares are less popular compared to ordinary shares?

Preference shares (or preferred shares) act are paid dividends at a fixed rate. They are more like a bond, they will go up in value when interest rates go down and will go down in value when interst rates go up. Most important they do not participate in the growth and success of the company. For example, if you put $1,000 in Microsoft preference shares when it went public 20 years ago it was still be worth $1,000 in contrast, if you put $1,000 in Microsoft ordinary (common) shares they would be worth millions.
