What this return means
$1,000 invested in Deere & Company (DE) in 2015 is worth $9,079 today. That is a +807.9% gain, a little over 9.1x your money, measured to 2026-06-01.
In compound terms that is roughly 21% a year, well above what a broad index has historically returned. The same $1,000 in an S&P 500 index fund over the same span would be about $4,521, so Deere & Company beat the index by roughly $4,558. The index compounded at about 13.9% a year over that period.
Getting here meant sitting through real volatility. The best single year was 2021 at +85.2%, and the worst was 2016 at -7.0%. 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 Deere & Company at the close of every month from January 2015 through June 2026 means 138 buys and $13,800 contributed over about 11.5 years.
$100/month, dollar-cost averaged
$54,692
+296.3% on $13,800 in
Same $13,800, all in at the start
$125,285
+807.9% on $13,800 in
Going all in at the start beat spreading the buys out by $70,593. 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 $159.64 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 DE split-adjusted monthly closes through June 2026. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
