Question

If i bought 100 shares of coca-cola in 1988 what would that be worth now?

Answer 1

when in 1988? they don't quote stock prices by days, but by years. For arguments sake, if you bought 100 shares of coke on 1/1/1988, then as of- today- this exact second,  that would be worth= $5,148 dollars.

Answer 2

Whatever the particular Market is (NASDAQ, DOW

JONES) on this particular day (today) at this particular

moment in time.

Stocks don't reference when you bought them..they show

ownership of company profits and that fluctuates daily,

depending on trading, National and International.

Answer 3

1,702

Answer 4

Why 1988? Twenty years?

If you bought it ten years ago you would have lost money.

If you bought in 1962 and sold in 1982 you would have lost money over 20 years but got some dividends.

Do you have a time machine?

What I want to know is what KO will be worth in 2018 or 2028.

Answer 5

Todays closing is $51.48 per share, according to Yahoo!Finance.  So 100 shares is worth $5,148.  Regardless of when it was purchased.  If you're actually asking how much profit you would have made, then the exact answer depends on when in 1988 it was purchased.  KO cost $3.47 per share on Jan 4, 1988 and $4.00 on Dec 30, 1988, from a split- and divident-adjusted perspective.  Assuming you bought 100 shares around the end of 1988, your profit to date would be (51.48-4) * 100 = $4,748.
