Let’s go back to 2016. Some guy had $10000.00 to invest. He put it all into Company Apple Inc. (AAPL). It wasn’t the hottest stock or a trendy name - it was a good, solid company he felt confident about. He invested his money and just left it. Over the 9 years that followed, Company Apple Inc. (AAPL) had its ups and downs - and continued to steadily thrive and grow - and along the way, the patient investor began quietly being rewarded.
What made the real difference was dividends being reinvested and not selling the stock during stock splits. Every dividend was used to purchase additional shares. When Company Apple Inc. (AAPL) stock split, the investor received additional shares without spending a single additional penny. The magic of compounding work - slowly at first and began to compound impressively.
At the end of 2025, the $10000.00 investment would be worth approximately $364638.78 due to stock splits and dividends that have been reinvested, which demonstrates a total gain of $354638.77999999997 and a return on investment (ROI) of 3546.39%, as well as an annualized compounded growth rate (CAGR) of around 49.12%. This illustrates the advantages of long-term investing, adhered to a disciplined reinvestment plan, and also illustrates how an initially small investment into a strong, fundamentally sound company (and move good company like Apple Inc. (AAPL)) can create considerable wealth over the long run.
$10000.00 invested in Apple Inc. (AAPL) in 2016 grew to $364638.78 by 2025.
