What was the initial public offering price per share when Apple went public in 1980?

Apple’s initial public offering price in 1980 was $22 per share.

Apple went public on December 12, 1980, four years after its founding. The offering made the company a public corporation and created substantial wealth for employees and early investors, including Steve Jobs.

The IPO was one of the most closely watched technology offerings of its era. Apple’s rapid growth had been driven particularly by the Apple II, which helped establish the company in the expanding personal-computer market.

The $22 figure is the original offering price, not a later market price and not a modern split-adjusted figure. Apple has carried out stock splits over the years, so historical prices can look different depending on whether a source adjusts them for later splits.
