When does Apple split its stock?

Is there a pattern?

Apple has split its stock 5 times in its corporate history. Here’s a history of Apple’s stock splits and where its price would be now had it not divided its shares.

After its first stock split in 1987, the tech giant conducted four additional splits, bringing its total to five in its corporate history as of mid-March 2026: 

• On June 21, 2000, Apple conducted a second 2-for-1 stock split.
• Apple conducted its next 2-for-1 stock split on Feb. 28, 2005.
• Apple’s next stock split was also its biggest: 7-for-1 on June 9, 2014.
• The most recent was a 4-for-1 stock split on Aug. 31, 2020.

Current Apple stock price x 4 x 7 x 2 x 2 x 2 = Apple stock price had the stock never been split

Based on the March 12, 2026, closing price, Apple stock would be $57,290.24 per share had it never been split.
