What this return means
Putting $1,000 into Amkor Technology (AMKR) in 2000 returned $2,920. That is a +192.0% gain, a little over 2.9x your money, measured to 2026-06-01.
That is only about 4.1% a year once you compound it across 26.6 years. A plain S&P 500 fund would have grown that $1,000 to about $8,517 instead, beating Amkor Technology by around $5,597. The index compounded at about 8.4% a year, a reminder that a single stock can lag a basket of them.
The path was not smooth. The best single year was 2004 at +255.6%, and the worst was 2005 at -74.5%. At its lowest point the position was down about 93% from an earlier high. These figures use split-adjusted closing prices and exclude dividends, taxes, trading fees, and inflation, so a real after-tax result would differ.
None of this is a recommendation. It is a record of what already happened, and past performance does not guarantee future results.
What if you invested $100 a month instead?
Most people do not drop a lump sum in on day one. They add a fixed amount every month. Putting $100 into Amkor Technology at the close of every month from January 2000 through June 2026 means 318 buys and $31,800 contributed over about 26.5 years.
$100/month, dollar-cost averaged
$360,019
+1,032.1% on $31,800 in
Same $31,800, all in at the start
$92,845
+192.0% on $31,800 in
Spreading the buys out beat going all in at the start by $267,174. That happens when the price spent time below where it began, so averaging in caught the cheaper months. Averaging in also meant an average buy price of $7.61 per share across the whole stretch, so the monthly buyer never had to time a single low. Neither number counts dividends, taxes, or trading costs.
Illustrative fixed $100/month example, not a recommendation. Figures are computed from AMKR split-adjusted monthly closes through June 2026. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
