What this return means
A $1,000 stake in Centrus Energy (LEU) from 2014 has grown to $3,365. That is a +236.5% gain, a little over 3.4x your money, measured to 2026-06-01.
That is about 10.1% a year compounded, broadly in line with long-run stock market averages. The same $1,000 in an S&P 500 index fund would be about $5,160 over the identical span, so the index came out ahead by roughly $1,795. The index compounded at about 13.9% a year, a reminder that a single stock can lag a basket of them.
The year-by-year record shows how bumpy the ride was. The best single year was 2017 at +290.5%, and the worst was 2015 at -91.9%. At its lowest point the position was down about 97% 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.

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 Centrus Energy at the close of every month from January 2014 through June 2026 means 150 buys and $15,000 contributed over about 12.5 years.
$100/month, dollar-cost averaged
$366,994
+2,346.6% on $15,000 in
Same $15,000, all in at the start
$50,472
+236.5% on $15,000 in
Spreading the buys out beat going all in at the start by $316,522. 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 $6.86 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 LEU split-adjusted monthly closes through June 2026. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
