The Most Expensive Stock of All Time

Traders has been buying and selling as early as the 1300s and since then, they have bargained and made profit using stocks. All throughout history, billions of dollars have been exchanged in the market with all kinds of people striking big while others went broke. Stock exchanges were formally established with the New York Stock Exchange or NYSE being one of the earliest and biggest to rise and has since remained to be the largest in the world. But the NASDAQ briefly eclipsed the New York giant with their establishment of computer networks that narrowed bid-ask spreads and expedited the trading process. The NASDAQ remains as one of the big players in the market. However the NASDAQ is not only famous for once beating the NYSE. It was also in the NASDAQ stock exchange that the most expensive stock was traded.

Apple (AAPL) once sold for $700 per share in 2012 when the company’s market value was at a whopping $650 billion. Coming in second place is PetroChina (PTR) whose market value was at approximately $1 trillion. This already included counting shares not publicly traded so it’s not the company’s pure market value measure. Following are technology companies Microsoft (MSFT) and Cisco (CSCO) which reached a market value of $600 billion and $500 billion in 1999 and 2000 respectively.

Both NASDAQ and NYSE carried the most expensive stocks of all time. The tech giant Apple, the software titan Microsoft, and the leader in router sales Cisco all trade in the NASDAQ. NYSE, meanwhile, carries the Chinese energy supplier PetroChina.

These are the most expensive stocks based on market capitalization.

The highest stock price however ever not based on market capitalization is Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) which sold for $190,000 per share.
