  • Microsoft IPO at 40: $1,000 Then Worth $5.5 Million Now
    March 13, 2026, 3:29 AM EDT. Microsoft marks 40 years since its 1986 IPO. A $1,000 investment then, at $21 per share, would translate to around $5.5 million today thanks to stock splits and share price growth. The company evolved from a software startup for the Altair 8800 PC into a tech giant integral to computing worldwide. Key moments include IBM's 1981 PC deal and the 1985 launch of Windows and Excel. Microsoft's stock has split nine times, turning roughly 47 IPO shares into 13,700 shares now priced near $400 each. This performance outpaces the average market return, underscoring Microsoft's pivotal role in tech history and investment growth.
