Before you read too much into it
The past is not a forecast.
These numbers show what already happened to Mastercard's share price. They say nothing about what it will do next. A stock that did well for ten years can fall for the next ten, and picking the winners in advance is much harder than looking them up afterwards. Most people are better served by a low-cost index fund than by any single stock.
How these are calculated
- Monthly closing prices from Yahoo Finance, adjusted for splits and with dividends reinvested on the day they were paid. The data can contain errors.
- The S&P 500 figures use SPY, an S&P 500 index fund, with its dividends reinvested.
- No taxes, brokerage fees or currency conversion are taken out.
- “Per year” is the steady yearly rate that turns the starting amount into the final one. See how compounding works.
