Microsoft's big earnings beat is because of one business that is exploding (MSFT)
If you look at today's MSFT closing price of $27.69 down 6 cents; the March 1986 IPO price, accounting for 9 splits, would have cost you 9.7 cents. That would be almost what MSFT lost in value today. So 970 cents invested i.e. $9.70, would now be worth $2,769.00. Although quite a good record, the stock has lost value since its peak of about $60 in early 2000.
