Row notes (5)

August 31, 2020—A high-profile 4-for-1 forward split executed as Apple’s market cap surged, making the stock more accessible to a broader base of retail investors after the price neared the $500 mark.
June 9, 2014—A unique 7-for-1 stock split implemented to significantly lower the per-share price from over $600 to under $100. This strategic move enhanced liquidity and coincided with Apple’s inclusion in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
February 28, 2005—Strategic 2-for-1 split during the "iPod era" explosion. The corporate action followed a period of intense price appreciation as Apple transitioned into a dominant consumer electronics powerhouse.
June 21, 2000—Classic forward split executed at the peak of the dot-com boom. This move aimed to maintain optimal trading volume during the successful early years of the "iMac" renaissance and the return of Steve Jobs.
June 16, 1987—Apple’s inaugural stock split following its 1980 IPO. The 2-for-1 distribution reflected the early success of the Macintosh and the company’s solidifying position in the nascent personal computing market.

Pre-split price is the final regular-session close on a trading day strictly before the split calendar date. Post-split price is the first session open on or after that date. Both values come from unadjusted end-of-day bars for the company's primary listing.

The Type column reflects the data feed's event category (for example stock split vs stock dividend). When the feed labels a generic split but the ratio is reverse (e.g. 1:10), we show reverse stock split. Optional editorial context for a row appears next to the split ratio as an info icon (hover or keyboard focus on desktop; tap on mobile). The same text is listed under Row notes when that block is expanded.
