What this return means
Disney (DIS) is one of the losers in this dataset. That stake is worth $753 as of 2026-06-01, a -24.7% move that left you with less than you started with after 6.5 years.
That averages out to -4.3% a year, meaning the position shrank in compound terms across the 6.5-year window. A plain S&P 500 fund would have grown that $1,000 to about $2,574 instead, beating Disney by around $1,820. The index compounded at about 15.7% 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 2021 at +21.6%, and the worst was 2023 at -24.1%. At its lowest point the position was down about 43% 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.
