About Amazon stock
Amazon went public on May 15, 1997 at $18 per share as an online bookstore. After three splits in 1998 and 1999 and a 20-for-1 split in 2022, that IPO share has become 240 shares. Amazon is the classic example of a stock that fell more than 90% in the dot-com crash and still became one of the best investments of all time.

Frequently asked questions
How much would $1,000 in Amazon at the IPO be worth today?+
See the "since inception" row in the table above. It is computed from live, split-adjusted prices starting with Amazon's first trading day in May 1997.
How much did Amazon fall in the dot-com crash?+
Amazon peaked near $107 in December 1999 (pre-split) and fell about 94% to under $6 by late 2001. It took until 2009 to regain the 1999 high. A backtest starting in 2000 shows the recovery.
Does this Amazon calculator include dividends?+
Amazon does not pay a dividend, so the historical figures are the split-adjusted price return. If a dividend is introduced in the future the adjusted price data will include it automatically.
Where does the Amazon price data come from?+
Historical and live prices for the stock are fetched from a market data feed and cached for one hour, so the numbers on this page track the current market with at most a short delay. The backtest uses daily data for periods under five years and weekly data for longer periods.
