What this return means
$1,000 placed in Coca-Cola (KO) in 2023 is worth $1,416 now. The total return is +41.6% over 3.5 years, as of 2026-06-01.
That is about 10.4% 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 $1,942 instead, beating Coca-Cola by around $526. The index compounded at about 20.9% 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 2025 at +10.0%, and the worst was 2024 at +0.1%. These figures use split-adjusted closing prices and exclude dividends, taxes, trading fees, and inflation, so a real after-tax result would differ.
