If You Bought 1 Share of Microsoft at Its IPO, Here's How Many Shares You'd Own Now
Next to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), stock splits have been the most exciting trend on Wall Street. Since its initial public offering (IPO) in March 1986, Microsoft has completed nine forward stock splits. Microsoft's cash-flow-rich legacy operations blend perfectly with its cloud- and AI-driven future. 10 stocks we like better than Microsoft › Next to artificial intelligence (AI), stock splits have been Wall Street's hottest trend. A stock split allows a company to cosmetically alter its share price and outstanding share count without any effect on its market cap or underlying operating performance. Following over a dozen big-time stock splits in 2024, a trio of brand-name businesses have followed suit this year. However, few companies can match the success, or sheer number of splits, software behemoth Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has brought to the table. Microsoft made its debut as a public company on March 13, 1986, at an initial public offering (IPO) price of $21 per share. In the 39 years that have followed, it's completed nine stock splits: September 1987: 2-for-1 April 1990: 2-for-1 June 1991: 3-for-2 June 1992: 3-for-2 May 1994: 2-for-1 December 1996: 2-for-1 February 1998: 2-for-1 March 1999: 2-for-1 February 2003: 2-for-1 A single share purchased on March 13, 1986 for $21 would have grown to a cumulative 288 shares, worth $141,710 (not including dividends), as of the closing bell on July 1, 2025. Although access to fractional-share purchasing has reduced the urgency for companies to complete forward splits, Microsoft's meaningful share ownership by everyday investors, who hold 34% of its outstanding shares, and nominally high share price of $492.05, may coerce its 10th split sooner than later. Microsoft stock has benefited immensely from its aggressive investments in cloud computing and AI. Cloud infrastructure service platform Azure is No. 2 globally by spending -- a 23% share in the March-ended quarter, per Canalys -- and could see its sales growth reaccelerate as generative AI solutions are integrated into the platform. Don't overlook its legacy operations, either. While the growth heyday for Windows and Office is long gone, Microsoft's high-margin legacy segments generate boatloads of cash flow that it can use for high-growth initiatives, such as AI investments, stock buybacks, or its ever-growing dividend.

Why Symbotic Stock Skyrocketed Again Today
Symbotic stock jumped double digits Thursday as the broader market rallied and major indexes notched new records. Better-than-expected jobs data and other catalysts helped power big gains for Symbotic and other growth stocks. Symbotic has been posting encouraging results and has big growth opportunities ahead. 10 stocks we like better than Symbotic › Aided by a strong bullish backdrop for the broader market, Symbotic (NASDAQ: SYM) stock posted double-digit gains Thursday. The robotics and automation specialist's share price rose 13.5% in a day of trading that saw the S&P 500 index's level increase 0.8% and the Nasdaq Composite's level rise 1%. Symbotic stock has been on a huge rally recently, and its stock is now up 102% year to date. The stock has surged as warehouse automation and robotics plays have gained momentum, but there may be good reason for the hype in this case. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each rose to record new levels in Thursday's trading, and Symbotic stock surged in conjunction with the broader bullish momentum. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' jobs report showed that 147,000 non-farm jobs were added in June, which came in significantly better than 110,000 additions that had been forecasted. At the same time, there was nothing in the jobs report that raised inflationary fears or caused investors to worry that the Federal Reserve might be less likely to cut interest rates in the near future. With the company's last quarterly report, sales increased roughly 40% year over year to hit $550 million. While sales are expected to decline on a sequential quarterly basis to between $520 million and $540 million, the midpoint of that guidance range still suggests annual growth of roughly 12%. Symbotic's sales growth trajectory might look somewhat uneven in the near term, but the company's long-term expansion outlook appears very promising. In addition to scoring continued wins through its partnership with Walmart, the company should also have the opportunity to substantially increase its business with other customers.
