Apple Stock Ownership Poll Reveals Surprising Results

Apple's 50th anniversary as a company was celebrated in 2026. The tech giant went public in December 1980 and has since become one of the most valuable companies in the world, with a market capitalization of $4.46 trillion.

A recent poll conducted by Benzinga found that 64% of viewers have owned Apple stock at some point. This number is significant because it suggests that many investors have had exposure to the company's shares over the years.

Comparing this to Tesla, another popular tech stock, the same poll showed that 73% of respondents had owned Tesla stock in the past, although it has been public for a shorter period than Apple.
