What this return means
A single $1,000 stake in Broadcom (AVGO) at the start of 2009 is now $295,726. That is a +29,473% total return, or roughly 296x your money, measured through 2026-06-01.
That is a compound rate of about 38.2% a year, an extreme pace that few holdings sustain for 17.6 years. The same $1,000 in an S&P 500 index fund over the same span would be about $12,328, so Broadcom beat the index by roughly $283,398. The index compounded at about 15.4% a year over that period.
The path was not smooth. The best single year was 2024 at +106.3%, and the worst was 2010 at -4.5%. These figures use split-adjusted closing prices and exclude dividends, taxes, trading fees, and inflation, so a real after-tax result would differ.

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 Broadcom at the close of every month from August 2009 through June 2026 means 203 buys and $20,300 contributed over about 16.9 years.
$100/month, dollar-cost averaged
$1,281,595
+6,213.3% on $20,300 in
Same $20,300, all in at the start
$5,990,879
+29,412% on $20,300 in
Going all in at the start beat spreading the buys out by $4,709,284. That is the usual result when a stock trends up: each monthly buy pays a higher price than the last, so the average cost climbs. Averaging in also meant an average buy price of $5.98 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.
