| Year | Price | Value | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | $141.88 | $1,000 | - |
| 2024 | $182.34 | $1,285 | +28.5% |

What this return means
A $1,000 stake in Apple (AAPL) from 2023 has grown to $2,163. That is a +116.3% gain, a little over 2.2x your money, measured to 2026-06-01.
In compound terms that is roughly 24.7% a year, well above what a broad index has historically returned. The same $1,000 in an S&P 500 index fund over the same span would be about $1,942, so Apple beat the index by roughly $221. The index compounded at about 20.9% a year over that period.
The path was not smooth. The best single year was 2025 at +28.6%, and the worst was 2024 at +28.5%. These figures use split-adjusted closing prices and exclude dividends, taxes, trading fees, and inflation, so a real after-tax result would differ.
None of this is a recommendation. It is a record of what already happened, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
