But one thing you won't get when you invest in Amazon is a stream of dividend payments. While many companies that issue stocks pay dividends on a regular basis (with some even steadily increasing their dividends through the years), Amazon doesn't pay dividends to shareholders.
Amazon. It's such a commonly suggested stock pick that it's almost become a cliche. There's still good reason, though -- Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is a great growth stock for nearly any portfolio. You know the company as an e-commerce behemoth.
If Amazon maintains its current valuations, matches analysts' expectations, and grows its EPS at a CAGR of 20% from 2025 to 2030, its market cap would reach $5.5 trillion by the final year. If Apple does the same thing and grows its EPS at a CAGR of 10% from fiscal 2026 to fiscal 2030, it would be worth $5.2 trillion.
Amazon was not unscathed, with its stock falling 50% during the period alongside steep earnings declines. However, a market downturn can sometimes be the best test of a company's worth as a long-term investment. And Amazon's performance under pressure has proven it's one of the most reliable stocks.
Since going public in 1997, Amazon stock has generated a total percent change of roughly 182,900%, which also incorporates the various stock splits that have happened along the way. That means that if you had invested $4,000 in Amazon in 1997, you would now have roughly $7.32 million.
Amazon went public on May 15, 1997, and the IPO price was $18.00, or $0.075 adjusted for the stocks splits that occurred on June 2, 1998 (2-for-1 split), January 5, 1999 (3-for-1 split), and September 1, 1999 (2-for-1 split), and June 3, 2022 (20-for-1 split).

What is the most successful stock of all time?
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) commands the No. 1 position, with an impressive stock price of over half a million dollars.
Here's a mind-blowing fact for you – Berkshire Hathaway is the most expensive stock in the world, trading at ~$5,62,300 per share as of 23rd January 2024.
Achieving this milestone isn't a walk in the park by any means, but it can be more accomplishable than many realize, thanks to the power of investing and compound interest. A $10,000 investment in Microsoft 30 years ago, at the start of January 1994, would be worth nearly $2.4 million today with dividends reinvested.
If you had invested in Netflix ten years ago, you're probably feeling pretty good about your investment today. According to our calculations, a $1000 investment made in February 2014 would be worth $9,138.15, or a gain of 813.81%, as of February 12, 2024, and this return excludes dividends but includes price increases.
Those gains translate to a 23.2% compound annual growth rate for Amazon compared to a 6.2% CAGR for the S&P 500 in that time. As a result, $10,000 in AMZN stock purchased 20 years ago would now be worth $645,262. A $10,000 investment in the S&P over the same period, however, would amount to $33,452.
