What makes stock returns different?
Buying an individual stock means owning part of one company. Returns depend on that company’s growth, profitability, competitive position, valuation and the expectations investors place on its future.
Individual stocks can produce exceptional gains, but they also carry more company-specific risk than diversified funds.
How to read these comparisons
Most scenarios estimate the value of a $1,000 investment made on 1 June 2015 using adjusted historical market data where available. Palantir uses its stated direct-listing date. Results may differ from brokerage statements because of fees, taxes, currency movements, execution prices and data availability.
These comparisons are educational. Strong historical returns do not show which company will perform best in the future.
