What this return means
A $1,000 stake in Coca-Cola (KO) from 2010 has grown to $4,783. That is a +378.3% gain, a little over 4.8x your money, measured to 2026-06-01.
That is about 9.9% a year compounded, broadly in line with long-run stock market averages. A plain S&P 500 fund would have grown that $1,000 to about $9,417 instead, beating Coca-Cola by around $4,634. The index compounded at about 14.6% 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 2022 at +30.7%, and the worst was 2021 at -14.7%. 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.
