If someone purchased 10 shares of AMD stock at the end of 96, how much money would it have yielded by now?

FinancialWonderLust

none-nada......AMD's stock does not yield a dividend.....if you mean to say "the return on investment".......about $383.00....in Dec. '96, AMD was around $12.75 a share.....do the math

Without doing the deep historical analysis (which you should do yourself), it looks like it was trading at about $18 a share and these days it is trading around $25, but you'd now have 20 shares because a split happened around the end of 2000.

So you would now have 20 shares at aprox $25 which is worth $500 and you would have invested $180. The stock doesn't yield any dividends.

But you don't have any profit until you sell. At aprox $30 to buy and another $30 to sell, here's about where you'd be if you sold yesterday:

$500
-$60 in trading costs
-$180 purchase price
$260 gross profit

$260 would be your profit IF the shares were in a tax-sheltered account like an IRA. If not, you'd have to pay taxes on that. Since you've had them that long, they would be taxed at the long term capital gains rate which is only at 15%, so you'd pay $39 in federal taxes plus whatever your state collects.

So your net (not including state taxes) would be $221.

Assuming you paid $19 in 1996 [you did not say when in 96]
The stock did not split or pay dividends and averaged a little less than $24 a share through out its not very profitable ten years. I would say you have netted $70
Presently the stock is selling at less than $26

At the end of '96, AMD stock was approximately $12. As of close yesterday, it was $25.64, so you'd basically double your investment.

$512.80 or there abouts. There was a 2:1 split in August of '00, see below:

$127.60 gain in share price.
Calculation: AMD (Advanced Micro Devices Inc.) was $12.88/share at the market close on Dec 31st, 1996 (price adjusted for 2:1 split on Aug 22nd, 2000) and was $25.64/share at the close this Friday (Jun 16, 2006) so:
($25.64 - $12.88)/share * 10 shares = $127.60
(AMD never paid dividends during this period)

What is AMD? If the business has become very successful, like a huge franchise, then it would definetely be worth some big bucks. It all depends on how well the business it self has done.
